Dear Dad
I am sorry I never got to meet you,
I am sorry I never got to say “Daddy”
And see a smile upon your face
I am sorry we never got to play
I am sorry you never got to trim my nails
Nor show me how to lace my shoes
I am sorry you never took me to school
I am sorry you never heard the accolades
Nor watch me graduate and celebrate
I am sorry you never knew of my first job
I am sorry you never saw my first pay
And how happy I was when I got a raise
I am sorry you never got to meet my Miss
I am sorry to know my wedding you missed
A father’s pride no longer yours
I am sorry you did not see my new home
I am sorry you did not hear
The joyful cry of my baby son
I am sorry you will not get to see me learn
To be a worthy father
I am sorry you are not there
To see this fruit of your lions
I am sorry you made this choice
To leave me and my mother
I am not sorry I have to say
“I succeeded Anyway!”

Writer Profile
Samuel
I'm 26 years old.
And this is my creed.
My voice is a tool in destiny's toolbox.
My words are the ammo of providence's slingshot.
My thoughts are the paths in fate's journey,
My intentions projections of success divine.
I write because I choose to speak
of the things the cause the world to spin.
I write because I can
and i believe my words will someday make an impact.
I'm not an agent of change as some many conclude or think.
I'm just the wind that blows and spreads the forest fire.
Join me and together we can walk to destiny's dream.
Love to all
I'm not a poet
I'm just me
