Victoria Scott-Johnson Poet Rhyme

My Dad

When I was young 
What a life I had
One things for sure
I remember my dad
He'd lift me high 
On his shoulders, what fun
He'd sing a song and
Beside him I'd run
We'd go to the park
Or go swim in a pond
We had the right genes
So together, we'd bond
Something to know
I was adopted, it's true 
It's just an FYI
There's not much you can do
I still have a hole
That I can't begin to explain
All the things that happened
Along with the torture and pain
So, I remember my dad
He knew what she would do
He would sit at the table
Acting like he didn't have a clue
I didn't want to blame him
Or point fingers, in greed 
I loved that man so
But he knew I was in need
How could he just ignore me
Looking through those eyes of blue
Even though he never helped me
I dreamed he'd come to my rescue 
So, yes, I remember 
My days of yore
I know that man loved me
But, who the hell's keeping score
