Ive written about my experience With a daughter i lost in my youth: Amber waves in the still Of my soul, The story in my perception Truth be spoken, She wasnt really mine.
And my heart is stilled, Born into my life My love could not be seen As fatherly, A choice made And years fade into the torture That is my mind.
17 years after the four Of loving her, The love of my life, The Ded inside the poet Reaches into my reality And once again all is The chaos. Ambers wave.....
I raised her for the first four years Of her life knowing She wasnt mine. When my ex and i separated I lost Amber too:
You reached into a well Of souls and captured My whole being, Ambers waves like a beach On Sunday morning's Glory, Life is in me to hear your voice, And the truth comes Like the last gasp.
Amber is my exs daughter, She cheated on me and we assumed Amber wasnt mine. So four years i loved her. She was born at 6 months old And weighed only 2.7 pounds. I reached out four months Ago for some reason on facebook After she friended me. I asked her if she still talked to The man we though was her dad:
Time is a hammer Always pounding and memory Is the tear we dont shed, It all comes out at once And the weight of regret Can be lifted, The soul cleansed, The hope invigorating And life is a dream within A dream within....
She couldnt tell me anything So her mother gets on messenger And tells me she is going to call me. She tells me Amber is mine. That I was her father all along. The stillness in my whole Life lifted.
And the beauty of life is That the unexpected Is always the best anything, Knowing is like a perpetual Repetitive insanity, Regret a broken record player, Depression a choice within Not to fight even when You lose, Ambers wave came like a Dream awake. The reality is, If this is real, never wake me.......
My heart is open again. Life is so beautiful. Amber was born with cerebral Palsy on the right side of her Body, shes 21 and she found She had a great big family After feeling so alone. She fights everyday and is in college So when i met her she amazed Me with her fight. Never Giving up i awoke from My stillness. I have a daughter 21 years old!!!! My little girls have a big sister. My still born was a metaphor For my life being stopped after she wasnt in my life. See my facebook for The pictures of my long lost Daughter. Life is a beautiful Craziness.
