Father Poem by M. A Heathcote

Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Did you ever love me back?
Did you ever love me, Father?
Father, did you ever care?
Or was it all a game?
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Did I ever live in your heart?
Did I ever matter?
Did I ever occupy your thoughts?
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Did you ever guide me?
Did you ever stir me from doing wrong?
Father, did you ever direct my path?
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
All I ever remember is your disappointment.
Your displeasure
Like I was something displeasing to your eye.
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Help me to be strong.
Help me make the right decisions.
Help me, Father. Share with me your knowledge.
Help me, Father, to believe not everything is a lie.
Oh, Father.
Oh, Father.
Oh, Father.
Love me; I am your firstborn.
Help me to be strong.
I want only to be loved and to belong.
