Moments Lost in Time

Do you remember when I was a baby?
When I was born you were so proud.
I was a perfect little lady,
You laughed whenever I got loud.

Do you remember when I was a little girl?
You always knew how to make things fun.
I danced with you wearing mommy’s pearls,
I didn’t know how fast time would run.

Now I am a grown teen,
And I barely even know you.
I never thought life would be this mean,
All I want is the dad I once knew.

The truth is I miss those days,
Because life without you is so gray.

"Late at night my mind would come alive with voices and stories and friends as dear to me as any in the real world. I gave myself up to it, longing for transformation." - Jo March, Little Women

This poem is so easy to relate to. I feel like that all the time. When I was little I was an important part of my dad's life but now that I'm a teenager I matter less and he doesn't really know me. Thank you for writing this. <3
