I'd like to ask you a question ?
When you veiw this photograph of me
Who are you really looking at
Who is it that you see?
Do you recognise anything
Trigger memories from the past?
Perhaps my smile
The way I've posed
Or are those memories
Trashed
My first steps gone
First day at school
Very first Christmas day
My dance competitions
Parents nights
My role in the school play
I married my first love
It was nothing like yours
My home held no trouble or strife
For a few years I found happiness
Saw such beauty in life
The bubble burst eventually
It's now all in the past
Never married again
But now I've found a love
That will always last
A beautiful child I've been given
But unlike you I realise
That parentings a huge commitment
You have to compromise
Time has come between us
Hours and minutes fade away
Light becomes the darkness
Tomorrows another day
Yet there is no way of changing
Events long gone
Good or bad
As time it waits for no one
No we can't change anything dad
I really must be honest
I wonder how different life would be
If you and mum had never met
But then I realise
I wouldn't be me.
I like being me although it's not been easy never knowing a father or having that important relationship. This is what I sent to him when I found his new address including my degree pic He's missed all those mile stones it's so sad but that's life
