Moments & Unspoken Words - 2. Unspoken Words

Even though I sit home alone

While my father is hard at work

I have something deep inside of me

Something which I don’t know how to tell?

It isn’t easy being a teenager living with him

He tells me I think I know it all

But then again, maybe I do

It seems like he knows all

I find it a challenge with him

To converse, not argue

It is hard to admit to

But we are both stubborn as mules

I try to show I care for him

I guess I never learned quite how

But then again, does anyone?

Maybe I’ll learn before it is too late

I have put off saying this to him

But I don’t know how he will react

Only if, I could just say

“Dad, I love you”

 

I wrote this poem to my Dad in Grade Ten after he had his first angioplasty

Moments-so true. It happens in a moment. It seems it should take longer to change a life, doesn't it?

I remember you showing this to me, but the second time I read it, just now I felt more emotion with it.
