I Waited.... You walked away To let me grow But why you stayed away I'll never know. I kept waiting to see a glimpse of you, waiting for you to want me and make my dream come true. I waited on my birthday for the Pony you would bring. I waited there at bedtime for the song that you would sing. I waited at the bus stop for the smiling tears. I waited at my prom for you to calm the fears. I waited at my driving class to see your white knuckle grip. I waited at my first broken heart for you to provide the stiff upper lip. I waited at my graduation To see you standing proud. I waited without hesitation to hear you clap so loud. I waited dressed in white for you to give my hand. I waited after a labored night to call you "grand dad" I waited but you never came I prayed to no avail My needing never tamed and the never ending tale. Now my wait is through I realize it must be. My dream won't come true and more waiting I'll not see. I guess you never heard me or maybe it was a bother. Couldn't you see All I wanted was to call you .............................. .............................. My Father. |

A.L.* Thank you for reading~ L.W.* Thank you my friend I appreciate it~ J.M.* I think this was the most difficult poem I ever wrote, it's hard to let go of something you don't remember seeing but takes over your life completely, thank you so much~ |
