I've left a terrible wake
In the midst of my mistake

Your mother was defeated
And your brothers were mistreated

So now there is nothing I can do
Except say this to you

My beautiful daughter
I know I was a bad father

But I love you dearly
Even if you can't see this clearly

You brought me back to earth
Since the moment of your birth

I was warped in the hue
Of your eyes so big and blue

I loved you at first glance
If only I had another chance

I'd take you to the ocean
never leave you broken

I'd lay in the sun
And watch you run

You'd never be afraid
Because I'd always be your aid

I'd kill the scary snakes
And avoid deep lakes

I would not let my choices decide my fate
And I would never consume such hate

I would listen to you sing
And never let my phone ring

All the things you love and do
I love them because they are you

You love to learn
So I'd teach at every turn

It's the only thing I can really do
But I'm sure your mothers taught you

She's incredibly smart Olivia
You should see her play trivia

Speaking of your mother
How are your brothers

Remember the night they fooled you
even through the tears you knew

It was out of love that they teased
But I shouldn't have been pleased

I wish I could go back
Fix it all and stay on track

My last good day
Was sometime in May

It was just us shopping
We spent all day talking

In my mind your laughter still stays
Your smile beams like rays

I know your trust is flimsy
But I wish I could take you Disney

We could feed the hidden elephants
And find the weirdest plants

But now I can't
So I guess this is just my rant

As always you are all I wish for
I've never regretted something more

I'm proud of you dear
Even if it's unclear

Keep your spark and you'll change the world
Whether you alter women's rights or are simply heard

With you anything is possible at all
Just promise to never let your spirit fall

You're a warrior my girl, this you are
I know you will accomplish a lot and go very far

Now just promise me one more thing and I'll let you be
Olivia, please don't ever end up like me.
