Your Only Gift

I hate you dad. I lied when I said I didn't. I lied when I said I was ok. I thought that I could keep it together, But my strength wavers. I tried to be the bigger person, But I am just a child. All the scars, I have to bear, Weigh heavy. I watch other little girls with their fathers, And I envy them. They don't know how lucky they are. All I wanted was your love. But you gave me nothing but pain.

This is such a sad poem, Erica. I hope one day you can find a way to make amends with your father. Now that my father has passed away, I regret every argument I ever had with him. God bless you -- may you find some peace in your heart. Blessings to you, Carolyn
