You came be my father on Valentines <br />Day 1958 it was a cold day, you were <br /> your so tall your hair and eyes so dark. <br />I know now you loved us so very much <br />you adopted us. <br />John and I loved you for this. <br /> <br />I'm sorry now that my heart was not their <br />always, for their were others on my mind and in <br />my heart. <br />You cant take a small child away from one <br />father and tell them you have a new father <br />When your five that does not sit well with them <br /> <br />I do have beautiful memories of you as a <br />.father <br />As teenagers I know we were rough on you . <br />and for this I speak for the both of us were <br />sorry for all of that. <br />I'm sorry we were not there when you died. <br />I'll tell you a secret John and I came to see <br />alone and said our good-byes. <br /> <br /> <br />We did not want to share that with the world <br />John and I have always loved you <br /> <br /> GAYLE ANNE GOFF <br /> 2007<br /><br />GAYLE ANNE GOFF<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-adoped-father/
