I want to hate you but I can’t.

Why you’ve left us for so many years?

Why did you leave?

Was there somewhere that was better for you?

Did you think we were going to be better off

without you?

Do you understand the damage you have caused?

To me, your daughter, who now is looking for love

in the wrong places.

Your son, who had to on his own find what being a

man was all about.

You just had to break up your family for God knows

what.

I had to grow up without a father while you were

there.

Experience growing pains without holding my hand

because you didn’t want to be here anymore.

I want to hate but I can’t.

My heart refuses to because it still recognises you

as my father and…..and

I love you.

Or is it because I am desperate?

Wanting what I’ve never had.

I wish we could repair our relationship and start

over

Now that you have come back home.

I want to hate you but I cannot.

I choose forgiveness and love above everything

else.
