That was so beautiful. You did a great job of telling this fine story, in a song. It was very good how it turned around at the end, to now be her turn....Loved this so much, I wish I had a six, but please accept this five, knowing it was worthy of a six! LOL

This is a beautiful song, well written with vivid imagery. It carries through a lifetime of Father's worry and the twist at the end. It is both sweet and bittersweet. It is a pleasure to read for you! Blessings!

A truly heart warming poem. I like Pre Chorus 2 when the tense shifts to daughter after her father dies. "She says call me when you get there." Great Story poem with lots of feeling. Thanks for sharing your inspiration. My sympathy on the loss of your father.

Very touching poem for me. I have tears in my eyes.
The lyrics are simple but very truly it touches your heart and you can clearly see the father waiting for the call from his lovely daughter.
Grat Job! I am sorry about the loss of your father.

I love this Katie, I could hear the music as I read the poem. Your words flow so easily and you can definitely put this to music. Very beautifully done. Call Me When You Get There, is now singing through my head I love that line.
