Father:
I never got a chance to say thank you
The only understanding that I ever had
Of a father was the the one installed thru the condition
I never realized that I was being father'd
And never realized the magnitude of
The physic ability we share
And my own ability to actualize for myself
The oppression of the walls that I lived within
Never occurred to me to be a part of my existence
Because in my mind I was always with you
I call the pawn of my conception by his first name
His americanized, western given slave name
But I had a father in you
And one that was so loving that through anger I've learned to
forgive
So I live
They say that a child can't be raised with an absent father
And when my heart churned for something to define and call dad
Your spirit came and you fathered me through the love of your
Emotion
Your devotion
As the tears swell in my eyes all I can say is thank you
Thank you for being you
And helping me find me
At least I have a picture in my mind
of
What a father is meant to be.
