Father In Time
Ignoring the obvious realities,
Of where we went off course
Your selfish ways define you
The outcome you’re to blame as the source.
Forgiven you are, for the decision you made
For I have no time,
To dwell on hopeless causes
I know, it’s a shame; a crime.
Fatherhood, I cherish; fatherhood I learned,
From one who refused to value
The gifts that come from having so much fun
Fatherhood, you undervalued.
Forgive, forget; words of different meaning
Meaning they give when I view the past.
Failing to be a father, I forgive
But viewing you as a father of the truest meaning, forget I can at last.
