Poem
I miss you I recall how at first you called me boy Gave me sweet things and always a special toy Scared trying to sleep heart racing with fright You tucked me in rubbed my head and said good night I was young and naive but your actions said I care No matter my circumstance, you were always there I remember those rainy days playing soccer, not so good But you came week after week and in the rain you stood Forever trying and hoping to make you proud For me, you always stood out amongst that crowd Picture still clear seems like just the other day You promised to guide me, teach me the way I grew up fast much more wiser and more bolder You couldn’t see this you retreated your love grew colder Days were tough, I missed you, needed your attention You spent time with everyone but my name, not a mention Why dad, what happened, why did you change Why did you avoid me, why your heart and feelings rearrange I blamed myself I cried but I never had a clue Now I understand somewhat, I’m a father too Procrastination is the thief of time, or so they say So if something must be said say it today Maybe you never read this especially this part I miss you and it hurts, but you’re still in my heart If you can find the time be it sunshine or rain Let’s get together take a trip down memory lane And when we in life our victories have won Remember this, you’re still my father, and I your son Miss you dad {c} APvN
