Father

Father,
where are you?

Are you happy,
or are you all alone?

Has time faded
your memory of us?

I can still remember
you on flashes
of good times

But the rest
were beatings
that we never deserved…

…Father, I bid you
a good life,
regardless of all
that was done

Maybe you had
your reasons,
but I was too young
to know...

Dad, are you there?
I still need you,
and will always love you

till the end of time
