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
