To Dad with Love - Visitor's Poem

by Author Unknown

When I took my first step
I never wished for you
coz I didn't know who you were
My thoughts were just shaping

As the days went by and by
It just came to me
"Where is dad?", I asked the chicks
Which came along with mother hen

"Is he in a far away country?
Just like mine", I mused
Right at the start of childhood
I started missing you

When other kids walked along
With dad and mom at their side
I started writing my pages
With anger and bitterness to you

People said you were cruel
There were many to curse you
And in the midst of all the chaos
I longed to hear your answers in vain

But when you opened your heart to me
Just a few words summed up your struggles
And you spoke right from your soul
And I couldn't help but love you

Using the pieces I paint your portrait today
And when I gaze at the picture I've drawn
I can see your smile and touch your heart
And I can do nothing but love you still
