Stranger
When I was young, at the age of three
heart disease took my father from me.
I will not hear his voice say I love you
he wont be there to walk me down the aisle
the day I say I do
He was not there to teach me to ride a bike
didnt put together my first trike
he didn't see me off on my first day of school
or when I took my first high dive in the local pool
He didn't console me after my first heartbreak
or see me blow out my candles on my birthday cakes
he missed all my milestones
he'll never see how I've grown
or how beautiful his grandkids would be
he'll always remain a picture in my mind,
my own created memory.
