A Daughter's Sonnet

By Candace Shultz

I wish that I could see my dad today

And tell him he was never there for me.

The truth is that he never cared to be.

It doesn't matter what he wants to say,

For all those years of tears he has to pay

For shirking his responsibility

And treating me as though I am debris.

Denying me will never be okay.

But I don't want to be like him at all,

So I forgive my dad. Rejecting him

Will only hurt me more. My anger's there,

But I release my pain to God and call

For peace between my dad and me to bring

An end to bitter ways and long despair.
