All the things I never told my father: For all the times I never told you thank you, For all the times I ignored what you said, For all the years I acted so indifferent, I want to say how much I thank you, Dad. These are the things I should have often told you, But usually they were left unsaid; Now these are words that weigh heavy upon me - How much I want to say, I love you, Dad. For all the times you reached and I rebuffed you, For all the years I scoffed at things you said, I want to say how much I miss my father, And how I wish I could tell you now, Dad. © Kathryn E.
