My Dad

You came in to my life at such a late date
A ready made family, with a teenage girl could not have been great.
You loved me more than did my own.
It took me a while to realize I was no longer alone.
Even though I did not have your DNA,
Your heart you feely gave away.

To have a child is no great plight, but to choose one gives their heart delight.
You could have been like the others.
To say I was not theirs and just my mothers.
But you took me in and became my best friend.

You carried me when momma died.
You stayed strong, and stood by my side.

Even though you had problems of your own you made me feel like I was home.

When we moved, why didn’t you come and stay?
I kick my self every day.
Many questions in my mind arise, if you did would you still be alive?

To have finally gotten what I had wanted for so long.
To awakened to find it all gone.

You were my one true dad.
But sitting here tonight I am oh so sad.

To never hear your corny jokes, or for you to listen to all of my hopes.
To never feel your arms hug tight, or ever talk to you 12 times a night.
Feels my heart with such sorrow, I some times feel that I wont make it through tomorrow.

I just want you to know that I miss you Daddy and loved you so.
