Are You Happy? -to my father if he is even still alive
Though I no longer hear from you
to say that I do not love you
would simply not be true
although you abandoned me
without even a clue.
But you have inspired me through it all.
You have taught me to be strong
and to stand up tall
and to be there for others
if and when they fall.
You have helped me to appreciate my friends.
Through you I have learned to be myself.
Because of this I have friendships
that will not end
and when I need them
on my friends I can depend.
From you I have learned what is important in life.
I have learned loving material things
instead of loving people
is in essence stabbing them with a knife.
So though you no longer stand beside me
you have taught me much of life
to a high degree.
You have done this by the example you have shown
with your life's history.
Opposite of you is how I want to be.
Though I proceed in life without you
I know I am not alone.
I have people who love me.
I hope you have people who love you too.
I know that is something I always tried to do.
Because I know that I am loved
I am able to be strong.
It helps me rise above
the problems I face along the way in life.
And I am happy.
I hope you are happy too.
