It's been so long Since I heard from my dad It's been a journey To a place called Sad
I tried to be there I tried to be strong It was not enough Am I just wrong?
I was pushed aside In your darkest time To my offer of comfort You all were blind
I then pulled away I emotionally detach I never did belong A bitter true fact
So time has moved on No word from you I carry on with life As good people do
I know not If you're alive or dead No one has written And nothing's been said
Then last night You came into my dream You looked healthy Cured it would seem
Your hair was brown Ruffled and thick You had rosy cheeks No more looking sick
Your little pot belly Had returned once more Not gaunt and thin Like you were before
You looked happy Not downcast and beat Seeing you again Was a real treat
I don't know whether You had come to say hello Or if it's a goodbye Telling me it's time to let go
