Daddy

When I think of you,

My mind goes bittersweet.

My heart wants to love you,

But my mind recoils.

With time this pain will heal,

But, how can I let things be?

My father you'll forever be,

But, why have you deserted me?

To hate you  is easy,

But to love you takes time,

I'm reaching out again

This time will you take my hand?
