A letter To Father

A letter To Father

A Poem by Alastair
"

a letter a man wrote to his father

"
Dear Father,

Do you remember when you were with Mother
Though it was so many years ago
Do you remember when you held me like no other
For i was too young to even know

Do you remember when i was a child
Though it was so many years ago
Do you remember things between you and mom got wild
And so you left leaving me misery and woe

Do you remember When i was a teen
Though it was years ago
As my nice demeanor began to wean
And all my friends turned to foe

Do you remember when i was grown
Though it was some years ago
And only then did it had shown
You didn't see my highs or my lows

Did you see me when I was gone
Though it was just a year ago
When I was buried under the grave's lawn
Were you there father? ... NO

I hope you never remember
all those years of woe
That you abandoned your son
And i hope you know of his suicide to go
