Ode to My Missing Father

I know you now
But once I did not
I dreamed if your face
I thought of your hands
That I have never seen
And thought I never would

Father's day was lonely
Though my grandpa was there
He was what I had
He would brush my hair

I received a new father
Not one I liked
But I could not complain
He did the job.

Then you were there
The day I met you
I cried with relief

You were here
You were real
You were there

I saw your face
I touched your hands
