Dad
Dad - I never knew you as my hero
I never climbed upon your knee
And when my childish world caved in
You were not the one who was there for me
You were a ghost who stalked my mind
half real, half fantasy -
an image in my mind
I dreamed of meeting you -
telling you
all about me and all about
what you missed
But all I could ever do
was wonder...
I wondered who, what, when, where, how
and why
All the things a good journalist would
I can tell you, Mom was -
no endless well of information
More like an endless hall
of closed doors
So I waited and I wondered...
Sometimes I even got mad
not even really at you -
more at God
After all - He was the one
who let this all happen
But you know what?
It was Him,
God
who brought me
to where I am today.
I met Jesus as my savoir,
He forgave me my sins, so I could
forgive others - theirs
Then I met you, as a man
who had known perhaps
too much
of life
You faced your mistakes and
you were sorry for them...
You tried to make up for
all the wrong - you tried
so very hard
it is not an easy path to choose
No, Dad,
I never knew you
as my hero
But I know you as a human
Dad - I love you for who you are.
Carol
