Written by Kaliko Rosa based on Akira Toriyama's "Dragonball Z"
Written on the feelings of Goten to his unknown father, Goku
Dear Daddy, do you live in the clouds? Dear Daddy, my older brother Gohan says 'hi' Dear Daddy, we're both doing well in school. Dear Daddy, did you know Gohan's fighting crime? Dear Daddy, did you know mom trains me? Dear Daddy, I guess she's doing okay. Dear Daddy, don't worry, we're holding on strong. Dear Daddy, I guess I wouldn't know, Dear Daddy, it would be nice, Dear Daddy, how I'd love to meet you, Dear Daddy, that's just wishful thinking. But Daddy, I'll just keep hoping,
At least that's what my brother would say.
He says your up in the heavens,
Fighting all the baddies each and everyday.
He really looks up to you.
He says you're the greatest warrior,
That I wish I only knew…
Gohan is oh-so-smart,
But he says the things you've always taught him,
Was to always be clever at heart.
He's pretty tough with all his might,
But you'd laugh at his costume, that I'm sure!
If only I knew how your laugh sounded like…
Really, she's not that bad.
She laughs and says that's why you married her,
I don't know why, but when she says that she sounds sad.
Mom's a pretty tough gal.
I think she'd like to see you though,
They say it's been quite a long while.
Life goes on as it usually does.
But I think both my brother and also my mother,
Wish life were with you as it was.
Or understand their loss.
Sometimes I wish I could feel their pain,
But I highly doubt it could ever be the same.
If you could find the chance for yourself,
To come along and visit us…
I'm sure it'd be a really big help.
To know who you are just like the rest.
And maybe fish by the waterside or play some ball;
To get to know my daddy is what I'd like best.
As stubborn as life may seem,
I wish so much that just for once,
It would grant me my most wonderful dream.
And instead send this letter to you.
Hoping that instead of a letter of response,
I'll get the Daddy that I never knew.
