Happy Father’s Day!
Dad, I wish I knew you, oh so well, In my heart, there’s an empty shell. I’ve heard stories, whispers of your name, But they only fuel this burning flame.
I wonder if we share the same eyes, If we laugh at silly jokes or skies. Do you have a smile just like mine, Or a favorite song we’d intertwine?
Oh, the nights are long, the silence deep, I lie awake, tears silently seep. Where are you, Daddy, where do you hide? Are you out there, on some distant tide?
I’ve dreamt of playing catch in the park, Of holding your hand when things get dark. To hear your voice, say “I love you, son,” A bond so strong, not easily undone.
Do you think of me on Father’s Day, Or have you forgotten, drifted away? Do you even know I’m here, alive? A little boy who yearns to survive.
