Dad, I need a hug,
I long to hear your voice.
Dad, my heart weeps still,
I can’t get past the pain.
I miss your warmth, I miss your sarcasm,
I miss your birthday wishes.
You made every birthday special
Like one day a year I felt I mattered.
You offered such acceptance,
I wasn’t blood related,
you chose to love me anyways,
You were my rock the reason I’ve survived.
I’m sorry I drifted away when you were ill,
I’m sorry the nursing home made me wary,
I only hoped you would go home,
and things would be the same.
I am happy you chose to be my dad,
I was truly blessed;
To be born alone,
but finding a dad at 4.
Dad hold me now, I don’t want to be alone...
