Could Have Been Poem by Gavin Cassens

Could Have Been



Can't remember the color of your eyes
I'd let go if I ever had the time
you disengaged without even looking
now tell me what color are mine

hearts can never be broken
by a man with no devotion
you don't know that I've become
everything you've never won

I am your positive as you oppose
fight the fight to becoming a man
success is mine where you have failed
fatherhood in tact as I upheld

children grow with whom they're given
children grow regardless of position
innocence loves within and no doubt
the father, mine, will not be without

blue and brown as I see in theirs
they will never forget the time we share
reflects in my eyes, love, truth, yang & yin
I am the father you could have been

Good write, Gavin... I'm sure that hits home with a lot of Fathers. Really well done. Brian
