A Final Christmas Message Poem by Jessica Paige Davies
A Final Christmas Message
Dad,
The last time I saw you,
I was four.
I don't remember your face,
Not even a smile to make my heart soar.
I truly don't remember,
Not even your eye colour,
It's all a blank mask,
A painted canvass getting smaller.
As the clock hand starting ticking,
I remember waiting in the cold,
Waiting to see your smile,
But you never showed; so I began to get old.
When was the last time you thought of me?
Did I even mean anything to you?
I'm a good girl; I promise.
So why do I feel so blue?
It's been fourteen years Dad,
Since I last saw you,
I honestly don't care anymore,
I'm only stating what's true.
You left me Dad,
You never wanted me,
You even moved overseas,
But at least you're free.
I'm sorry Dad,
I take that back,
I'm just being selfish,
Let me back track.
When I was a child,
Farther's day was a living nightmare,
I was always bombarded questions,
I remember crying and saying I knew you truly do care.
I know in my heart you love me,
You love my sisters and other siblings,
But why is it I don't remember?
I'm sorry ignore these scribblings.
You don't know me,
So I'll tell you now.
I love my horses,
And I love to write, but anyhow.
I've lost hope Dad,
So I'm sorry that life turned out this way,
Sometimes I wish I knew you,
But I have nothing more to say.
This will be my last message,
Our relationship is un-mendable; broken glass,
Farewell Dad, I really did love you,
Merry Christmas.

There is only one thing that can set you free that would be forgiving him and giving him the love he never had and it turn, the two would be healed blessings love is always the answer
It's very sad and deplorable what kids and single parents go through after being abandoned by either daddy or mummy. The emotional trauma, the insecurity, the rejection, ... are too much to bear. However we must keep faith in God. FAITH KEEPS THOSE THAT KEEP THE FAITH - Mother Teresa. A nice poem written with insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

I am quite moved by this poem. I cannot imagine what my children would have gone through, if I had abandoned them at any stage. Your poem touched me in the core of my heart. I am glad that in your poem, you have not spitted venom at your negligent and delinquent father, as I read in many poems written by poets of your age, under similar circumstances. I am not a Christian though, yet I believe, as Mr. Nobody has commented on your poem, that 'love is always the answer'. Some of the lines of your poem that touched me immensely are: 'I don't remember your face, Not even a smile to make my heart soar.' 'I'm a good girl; I promise. So why do I feel so blue? ' 'Farther's day was a living nightmare, I was always bombarded questions, I remember crying and saying I knew you truly do care.' ' Our relationship is un-mendable; broken glass, '
