As The Days Gone By
Monday through Sunday
I was waiting for you
But you never showed up
364 days passed by, but I’m not counting
As The Days Gone By
We have known each other for ten years
I heard you and mom screaming in the kitchen
You seemed mad and left
You told me you love me and when I am older I will understand
Well I am on the stairs waiting
As The Days Gone By
Many years passed by
I wrote to you and did not answer me back.
Many Father’s Days showed up and I never know what to do or give you
You have another wife and a new family
Well what about me
I still waiting
As The Days Gone By
At the family reunion I meet you
You looked surprised to see me
You said I’ve grown up
I really didn’t wanted to see you
I have gotten over you then said you said wanted to see me
Well I’m waiting
As The Days Gone By
Three years passed by
You lied to me
You said you wanted to see me I guess that will never happen
Since I saw you I missed you
I want us to be a family
Not you and some other people
I will be waiting for you
As The Days Gone By
One day you called unexpectedly
We meet somewhere and had a talk
You told me why you left and ask for forgiveness
I couldn’t forgive you
Then you told me you had cancer and you don’t have much time to live
Months pass by
I saw you on a hospital bed
I had came to visit
We talked and then I forgave you
He said “I love you and I always do”
Then in a few hours he died
I will be waiting for you.....
in heaven

This poem was absolutely beautiful and I think I almost cried. Thank you so much for sharing this with Power Poetry. My condolences go out to you and your family. I understand it is so hard to forgive family members who have not been there for you, especially a parent who should have been.
I had watched over the years my dad become a father to other people's children, while never really being one to me and my sisters simply because he is so far away, can't afford to be and just drift away from us. So from this I really can relate, and i thank you for putting into words some people just can't. As well it is also something that is all your own, despite other people being able to relate. It is something that you can learn from and I really hope you have. There is more to this than pain, there was more than you remember about him than the things you remember and as we get older we will start to notice that more and more.
Thank you so muh for sending this in, and good luck in the contest.
Becca.
