These Tears will Fall just once,
With the deepest of sincerity,
So please understand why,
In all of its clarity.
You were in my life for what seems only a fragment of time,
Only till the age of seven could I call you mine.
You were my HERO undisguised,
I trusted all you ever said, as you looked in my child eyes.
I always thought the best of you
When people said bad things of you,
I would say "Its not true."
As time grew, so did a gap between us,
You drove me miles away, and said to me,
"with your Mother you must stay!"
With no further explanation,
You left, giving me a painful deprivation.
I ignored the pain,
When people asked of you,
I also hid the shame.
I often wondered why, to you I was not important enough,
Though I just kept going, making myself be tough.
As I matured in age and mind,
I began to move forward, leaving you behind,
Until I learned you had a family,
Then came that pain, this time a little stonger,
As I realized I still had love for you,
However, I have accepted our Father, Daughter relationship,
Has for long been through.








good luck in the contest
