I knew you when I was three

I know you

You know me

I knew you when I was three

You were tall

I was small

You’d pick me up

When I would fall

I knew you

Mum did too

She told me to call you Dad

Until you left

And it made mum sad

Then I grew up without a dad

She said one day

You’d look for me

This day I’m glad I’ve lived to see.
