It's about the feelings of a daughter who's father leaves and never wants to meet her.
Daddy
Daddy where did you go?
You left me so long ago
The kids at school all laughed as I cried, on parent’s day, when you didn’t stop by
Daddy, they told me you didn’t love me and I was the reason why you left Mommy and me
I never got to hold your hand, blow bubbles or play in the sand
Do you ever think about me?
Or am I a distant memory that you never want to see?
I think about you, Dad
Your face I want to see, smiling or even mad at me
I want to know that you’re proud Dad, that I’m going to be a college grad
I want to be a lawyer Dad; I can’t wait to pass the bar
Someday I’ll get married in white, do you want to walk me down the aisle?
I want to raise four kids, with my husband by my side
I plan to hold their little hands, and walk along the beach
I’ll play with them in the sand
As for the bubbles Dad, the air will be filled
What do I wish for, you wonder?
Someday I hope to meet you Dad, I’m scared I never will







Note: I found out that my father died in 2010. I didn't know that he had died when I wrote this poem. When doing a search to find him, so I could meet him; I came across his obituary. I'm sad that I wasn't able to meet him and now plan to find his brothers and sisters so that I may meet them and any other family members.
