Dear Father.....

Hello dear father
is there something to say
are you proud
disappointed
at the fumble iv made

There was time once
long gone
where fresh ears would have heard
the marvelous things
your heart could not give

In this tough time I beg
no religion
nor shame
pure honesty I ask
please give me this
I pray

I'm sorry Jo that I have not been the father you needed. Will you please forgive me? Dad

I am proud of the stand you have made. It has taken a lot of courage and strength to do what you have done. I want you to know that I have always deeply loved you and you have always been a joy to my life - and even so now. You can never disappoint me and no matter what you did I would still love you with my whole heart. I will do anything I can for you. I thank God for the provision He has given me so that I am in a place to be able to help you out. I just wish I could do more.

I'm going to hate leaving you and wish I could go back in years to when you were young and live my life over again. I love you so much Jo and would give my life for you.

Jo, you mean the world to me. You have been such a precious and wonderful daughter. What happens to you matters very much to me. I'm sorry I haven't been there for you in the past. I was so selfish. I don't know why it has been so difficult for me to listen to you children and take a greater interest in your lives. I know that I've always considered myself very fortunate to have such wonderful children and have always delight in you all. I have regrets about some things of how I treated you during your childhood and those things continue to bother me even today. I want to do all that I can to possibly make it up to you. I always want to be there for you in the future. I may not be perfect so you might have to help me out a bit!

Hi Jo, I hope one day, not too far away, that you will be able to write a happy poem - one fill of happiness and gladness.
