I Still Crave The Love of My Dad
By Janice S Ramkissoon
I know not what to call you
Though I refer to you as Dad
My heart urges to love you
But my emotions for you are blank
Reserved in my heart a special place
Just waiting for you to claim
There lies an empty space
Replacing happiness with pain
I’ve spent years imagining your face
Still more years running without a cheer
Now it pours, leaving traces on my face
You’re still not here to dry my tears
My child’s given me a new lease of life
My true friends God has revealed
I dance with the love of my life
But the love of my dad is still concealed
Now slowly my yearning fades
As I learn to trust in God’s perfect plan
Realising His love never fades
But I still crave the love of my dad
