To My Father II
I know you must regret your decision
Now that your youth has passed
Coming closer to your mortality
Was it all worth it?
You could’ve known them all
Deprived of the smiles and tears
The growing up
First day of school
A treasure of so many
Your pride and joy
But instead you will remain a stranger
No stories or memories to rejoice when holidays come
No footprints
How do you feel now?
Is there any pain or hurt that lingers?
Is there any guilt?
Do you carry any wounds?
Can they heal?
I know you must regret your decision
Now that your youth has passed
Coming closer to your mortality
Was it all worth it?
