Don't Worry, My Dear (Daddy's Only Trying to Have Some Sleep)
Don’t Worry, My Dear (Daddy’s Only Trying to Have Some Sleep)
Hush, hush
Wipe the tears
Off your eyes
Daddy’s going nowhere
I’ll be right here
Right here beside you
Right here to protect you
I’ll keep the monsters away
Daddy’s been working all day
As tired as any tired man can be
But the mere sight of you
Gives a new life that makes my day complete
So if my eyes
Just close, suddenly
Don’t worry, my dear
Daddy’s only trying to have some sleep
Hush, hush
The stars and the angels
Will keep you safe,
Daddy will always keep you safe.

Hindi kami close ng daddy ko, pero during my childhood years, siya lang ang kinapitan ko kahit alam ko kung gaano siya karupok.
Napaka powerful nung mga linya sa tula, kasi sa ngayon, pagkatapos kong basahin 'to, pakiramdam ko naging sensitive at emotional ako.
Salamat sa magandang tula na nagpaalala sa akin na masayang maging anak at magkaroon ng ama.
