So fathers day is one of my least favourite days. But this year I decided to be reflective.... be kind to my attempt at poetry. I do realize though that there are some pretty great dads out there... and to you I say Bravo.... your kids are lucky to have you.

A Poem for my Father

Dear Daddy your not, nor have you ever been,
my father I'll call you though your hardly seen.

For love and compassion is something I've got,
but a loving dear daddy is something your not.

The time now has passed, the tears I'm done crying,
the love that was there is gone because of your lying.

Waiting still here for the memories to fade,
all because of the decisions you've made.

Sorrow I feel not for you but for the boys,
who no longer can be bought with candy and toys.

One day you will wake up, one day you will see,
that daddy's little girl, has always been me.

Too little to late, to start paying attention,
I am no longer going to wait here, stuck in detention.

Always forgive is a nice way to live,
if only I had something more in me to give.

So sitting here waiting, no more remorse here to feel,
for forgetting it seems is needed to heal.

Working so hard to keep it together,
Hope it's nice tomorrow... with much better weather....
