Oh Where Is Your Song For Me Father? Poem by Mark Heathcote

Don't hold it till I'm older and regret
I'm not your daughter any longer
I'm here and now feeling unmet.

Mother; where is your song for me now.
I'm as insecure as you
Wanting answers to fulfil
An empty spirit in me I want to disavow.

Oh mother, father when will you show me
How much you both love me
Because I can't sustain all these tears
All these partings and all their empty years.

Oh, where is my father, my mother?
How much older must I and you become
When we can all be friends
Oh, where is my father, my mother?
Did you adopt me as an orphan?
Oh for what were your misgiving portends?
Not to make it clear you both love me,

Oh, where is your song for me father?
Don't hold it till I'm older and regret
I'm not your daughter any longer
I'm here and now feeling unmet.

Mother; where is your song for me now.
I'm as insecure as you
Wanting answers to fulfil
An empty spirit in me I want to disavow.
Mother and father won't you both show me now!
You love me still!
