Dear Father
Do you miss me, despite the time that’s passed between us?
Would you welcome me if I came down on a plane or bus?
Would you hold your arms open and pull me into an embrace?
Or am I what I think I am, a disgrace?
Do you miss me, do you regret what you said?
Would you take it all back to have a day with me,
Like I wish you’d say when I’m lying alone in bed?
Do you wish for a picture just to see?
Do you miss me, a person you’ve never met?
I’d like to think the future is never set.
Do you miss me, do you ever wonder what I’ve grown into,
Like I do?
Would you welcome me if I came down on a plane or bus?
Would you hold your arms open and pull me into an embrace?
Or am I what I think I am, a disgrace?
Do you miss me, do you regret what you said?
Would you take it all back to have a day with me,
Like I wish you’d say when I’m lying alone in bed?
Do you wish for a picture just to see?
Do you miss me, a person you’ve never met?
I’d like to think the future is never set.
Do you miss me, do you ever wonder what I’ve grown into,
Like I do?

lovely in its boundless sadness, fortunately there is this creator, our father, who'll always love you like his most beloved child, even if your legal and biological father seems to engage in the crime, the sin of indifference or retribution
