Father
June 1, 2012
I’ve spent years trying to find
a way to comfort myself
since you weren’t there.
Was I not good enough?
Was I not worth it?
You saw me lying in
my hospital crib
fragile and helpless
the last time you
recognized me.
Now you come around
saying you’re sorry?
I forgive you
but this cannot be forgotten.
I’m leaving you in my past
and moving forward to the future.
