Father, I must share this tale,
for I too need closure.
Once our bitter hearts did prevail.
Nay, never speaking the words that needed exposure.
As you drifted away into eternal slumber,
Why didn't we make a stand?
Too late now to disencumber,
Your hour glass ran out of sand.
I shall always regret
how our bond went sour,
but that one night that I shall never forget,
when you proved love is a greater power.
You came to me just in time
You must have known I was losing my mind,
Even in a dream, to see you was sublime.
The dream is a treasure maps to secrets left behind.
For someone who knew you well,
and the demons you faced
explained how it was hell.
suddenly my pain had disappeared without a trace.
I would have never known,
If you would have never came to me in a dream,
Even though .love was rarely shown,
You never hated me like it did seem.
Now that I know the facts,
I can begin to forgive the man.
I actually thank you for your acts
because when I am a parent I have a plan.
The times in our lives
when we knew we were wrong,
when the day my first child arrives,
I would have learned to be strong.
Despite all the anger and pain
I know I am truly blessed,
Never again will I think of you in vein,
So, Dear Father, in peace may you rest.
Personal note to my Father:
This story is true,
and I dedicate these words to you
Dad, I miss you so much,
For God's sake, Keep in touch..
