A Face to put to Your Name

Ive wondered for so long,
who you were,
and what I did wrong.
your face is just a blur.

Mom raised me,
she did a really good job,
but I wondered where could you be.
sometimes I just sit and sob.

I talked to my family,
they told me where to look,
I called the V.A. just rambling.
then I looked in the phone book.

Its your name,
Its there,
then the tears came.
your rejection I can not bear.

You answered the phone,
I am so scared,
but you had a gentle tone.
all our secrets yet to be aired.

I ask you some questions,
"yup, you got it" you say,
My heart weighs tons.
do you want to meet me today?

Finally I had it,
my dream come true,
I was frigtened just a bit.
and I never had a clue.

Just up the highway,
thats where you were,
now your looking my way.
no longer a blur.

Finally I have you,
the face to put to your name.

DanieDear~
How very wonderful that you were able to find the father and how sad that he is now gone~

I would hope the time you had to spend together were good times for you both~
