Dad I Hope Im Still Your Flower Poem by carolyn williams

I am a flower that wishes there will be a day
When you would turn and say
My beautiful flower look at you
You’ve come such a long way

I am so very proud of you
As u should surely know
I wish that I could hug you
And cure you of your woe

But you can not say these words
That I so dearly need
Instead you are so far away
Why do I deserve this horrible deed

I go on every single day
Wondering what you would think
I feel you close and yet so far
Do we even still have that link?

I think we do
Yet how will I know?
how do I know if you even still see
I see your face every day of my life
I wish I knew if you could still see me

But this is the pain that I have to bare
Until I see you again so clear
Then you can hug me and say those things
That I so desperately need to hear

Until that day comes to comfort me
I will never know
I just hope that I am still right next to you
That flower you helped grow
