A father in Scene
A simple ad across the screen of a classic father daughter scene.
Him holding her tightly like a father would, so happy so right.
My heart has pictured this scene ever since I was a young teen.
Yet my heart feels not the warmth of memories but blight.
The ad is of a day that many hold dear and celebrate with cheer.
My father is gone and dead, never to know me again.
I can never share another happy day with him, that’s clear.
So I will sit and try to remember him without his sins.
But who am I to cast stones?
The girl who’s last words to her father were that of cold and hate.
The girl who can only scream sorry at a bag of bones.
I can only walk forward and see what awaits.
