That is how I feel To forgive has left me without strength That child with all the love to give is all grown up Like a full grown tree I don’t need your watering My roots go down real deep In Christ I found solace stability and love Love craved for from you Strong trees don’t usually confess but I wasn’t always strong I didn’t understand I wish I never knew you That I could cook up your goodness and intended love if you’d had the opportunity But you weren’t dead,dad You were simply absent And me I was simply fatherless
