and a poem I wrote for him from my first book...
What to do when I am missing you?
I am in search of something
that can bring me closer
To you
i am in need of an identity
that can make me
ME
i try to classify myself as
part of something
that I know I never really knew
and all I really ever want
is to be closer to you.
I am trying to hold back tears
that have plagued me for the past 21 years
trying to believe
“this too shall pass”,
and even with my current accomplishments
i still feel sad
because in truth
i am still missing you
My Dad.
and I just want to know
so many things…
like, have i made you proud?
do you ever cry?
do you sing with angels
in the night sky?
i sometimes hear your voice
in my thoughts
your presence
in my words
and I can almost remember
you being
YOU.
so, i just want to be sure
that you are all right
and I just want to know
what to do
when I am missing you?
