In The Beginning 

By: Greilynn Bergonio

 

In the beginning, I was his night & day

I was his night & day

 

In the beginning, I would get kisses on the cheek

I would get kisses on the cheek

when I was near or away

 

In the beginning, the star of the house was me and I

the star of the house was me and I don’t

look back at that and complain

 

In the beginning, he hugged me, squeezed me so tight I

he hugged me, squeezed me so tight I couldn’t breath

 

Until one day, there was a little girl, my sister that stole him away

there was a little girl, my sister that stole him away

my sister that stole him away

 

But a part of thought it would stay the same

 

Years passed by and I still don’t get near as

much attention

 

But I guess what good is that I’m

my grandmas new obsessions

 

What’s new is new, and what’s old is old

he doesn’t say I love you as mush or kisses me that was the past

 

In the beginning of time and present of day

he’s still my dad

and that makes all the difference.
