What happened daddy
Where did you go
We had a rough start
You liked the drugs and alcohol more
Then you grew up
And so did I
I wouldn't speak to you
No, not for a long time
Then I was pushed
Call and talk
That's when I realized
I missed you all those years
I needed that rock
But you weren't a rock yet
Pebbles of sand
Finally glued together
To make you a father man
We grew to know eachother
After all those years
I miss you now daddy
Your voice and wisdom you bestowed
I want to break daddy
But I know
*In heaven, there are no tears
Where did you go
We had a rough start
You liked the drugs and alcohol more
Then you grew up
And so did I
I wouldn't speak to you
No, not for a long time
Then I was pushed
Call and talk
That's when I realized
I missed you all those years
I needed that rock
But you weren't a rock yet
Pebbles of sand
Finally glued together
To make you a father man
We grew to know eachother
After all those years
I miss you now daddy
Your voice and wisdom you bestowed
I want to break daddy
But I know
*In heaven, there are no tears
This is not your typical Father's Day poem. Anyone who knows me knows my father's and mine relationship was nearly non-existent. 8 years before his passing we finally reconnected fully. I miss you daddy. I love you. I pray you have escaped purgatory and are in the arms of God.
