Daddy

Father I forgive you, 
for all the blame I've placed on your head. 
All those times I felt abandoned, 
shaped this life that I have led. 

It took twenty two years, 
to include me in your game. 
Finally realizing a common ground, 
brought our relationship its name. 

Of all the things I remember, 
the last meeting will always stay. 
The lesson we shared that night, 
will never fade away. 

And so I thank you, daddy, 
for helping me find myself. 
Though the times we shared were scarce, 
In you I finally found wealth.
