Suffer

What will you Suffer for me
my sweet girl?
how much will you bear
on my behalf?
how many minutes
or hours
of tears
will fall down your cheeks
before you come close
to needing to utter the word
that will make me stop?
but will you?
knowing how disappointed I will be
in my little girl
if she cannot take
all that I want to give...
come on now
I think you can do better than that
be a big girl for Daddy
and show him
how much you can Suffer.
