Back To Shevaun's Poem List

To My Father

The deep sorrow that I feel 
That you will not bestow your pride 
In all that I believe 
To choose this life of mine 
My heart is deep with wounds 
Of never doing right 
The path I've always chosen 
Has left you sunken in strife 
To guide me to direction 
Of the 'right' that I must lead 
I'm lost in worlds of heaven* 
I'm found by my own steed 
I hope that you will see me 
As the daughter you have grown 
Not to follow in your wanted vision 
I'm afraid of what it shows 
But in my grateful sadness 
I face and fear your heart 
That you will be disappointed 
And take away what should be ours 
This is a plea for understanding 
And a strength of love beyond 
What until now we haven't experienced 
That until now we've been fighting to bond 
To shed that yearned approval 
That aches my bones to move 
To walk on roads not taken 
In hopes to build anew 
Please, lets hold hands 
And share our triumphs 
As different as they may seem 
Our blood must hold us together 
Let our dreams live in harmony
