Dad for the moment

I was born a newborn only to be without a dad
I had a father which is not in dear
A dad that wasn't there for me when I cry at night
Only to hear my mommy's voice that would relax me
My father only to be a dad for a moment

Was that possible?

Heard of the stories on how he would take me out of my play pen
Because I would wait up for my dad for the moment to come in
I would sleep along side my parents only for him to leave again

I heard that we would take walks to the store of holding my dad for the moment hand
I know of the special nick name for me(Kico)
Which I hold very dear for a lifetime

I heard of stories that he would fix my favorite finger food for me
which consist of bologna and crackers and the raw hot dogs

I heard and heard of stories that I wish I could remember
Only to be so young and my dad to be was only for a moment

Hoping of one day recapturing those moments that was suppose to be
Not old enough to remember the stories

I wanted to have my dad for the moment only to be the last conversation we would have

He is no longer here for me to ask the questions that needed to be answered
I have let go of the non forgiven and just now realizing that I did have a dad for at least a moment

I love you dad even if it was for just a moment..........
