Questons For Dad Poem by Jamie Rutledge

Questons For Dad



Daddy?
Are you there?
Are you alright?
Do you know how much I've missed you?

I've missed you so much
I want to be in your arms just one more time
I wanna hear you say you love me and that I'll always be your buddy

I wanna know the truth
Do you ever think of me?
Have you ever wished you  were there with me?
Like when I went to my first camp last summer
For 3 weeks out of state with people I've never met

Do you know how much I missed you?
How much I wanted you there?

If you saw me today
Would you recognize me? I've changed so much.
Would you want to see me?
Would you approve of who I've become? I had to grow up so fast when you divorced. I act more like I'm 30 than 13.

Daddy, I wanna know if you still love me and if you're doing alright.
I have called you so many names so many times
I don't even know what I believe anymore

I know I used to love you so much
I used to live for coming home to you
I never thought it would all just disappear so fast

Daddy, I just miss you
And want you back.
I wish I could tell you what all has happened since last February
