Dad

Gone to often Left to fast Missed much living I don’t even know you dad Loved so much Feel so empty All grown up I don’t even know you dad Cry much tears Lost in lies Childhood gone I don’t even know you dad Mistake made many times Repeated often Fighting back That’s a first dad Blame it all on you Hate so much Fighting for your life… I just don’t know dad Taking that step Yes I believe in you Mistake will be forgiven I want to know you dad Tears done falling Slowly wiping my eyes Holding your hand Dad it will be all right Things have happen Things have gone Daddy I’m ready for a dad Are you ready to be one?

Taina - This poem struck home with me - my oldest daughter used the inmate tracking system to find me so she could write - I've been clean for 7 years and we have a good relationship now - congrats on being featured - mj
