I did your dishes,
I emptied your sink,
I wait on you to say something, an apology maybe,
But what did you do that I haven't done as well?
I am my fathers daughter.
The things I see and the things you say, they stay
Forever.
So I washed your mug.
The "best dad" mug I got you.
After grinding a rough sponge on glass and plastic and silverware,
I took your mug in my hands and treated it like I wish you'd treat me.
I was gentler to it than I was the others,
Because it's shown that it is more sensitive.
I laid it down slower,
Because it's shown to react better that way.
And I made sure it was alright before I sent it off,
Because I'd hate for it to leave with open wounds.
I cried a little harder washing your mug.
And I'll learn a little faster next time I empty your sink.E.
