To Dad

My dear father do not look so sad,
I know my choices have made you mad.
I never meant to upset you greatly,
But this is what I have been thinking lately.
Fate has a funny way of working things out,
No matter how much you want to scream and shout.
What is done is done there is no going back,
And here are a couple simple facts.
I am grown up now as we all know,
But sometimes I do not let it show.
Choices I have made may be selfish,
But no matter what I am filled with bliss.
I am here with Morgan and that is what I want,
Because searching for new love is too much of a hunt.
I never meant to make you angry,
But there is no more use to try to save me.
You taught me everything I need to know,
And now it is my turn to let it show.
I will make mistakes that is bound happen,
And it is my turn to learn about them.
A few wrong turns here and there,
I would not be here without your care.
You have taught me so well I must say,
And it is my turn to make this my day.
I will shine brightly and you will see,
That leaving me here was the key.
It is time for me to learn on my own,
Only with guidance to be shown.
I never meant to upset anyone else,
But this is only about myself.
I hope I am making a difference in your thoughts,
Or I can stir it up in your pots.
I have tried so hard,
And look I have made it this far.
There is a long road left to travel,
Some be paved and some be gravel.
But just remember,
I will always shine brighter then an ember,
My life is paving a way out,
And I love this place I want to shout.
You did not abandon me on the side of the road,
You made sure I had a home.
I could have just told you this on the phone,
But the best way seemed to be in a poem.
Anything else you just want to know,
Come on ask and Ill let it show.
You are my father,
Helped bring me into this world becoming my shelter.
But now that I am almost grown,
It is time to let me learn this all on my own.
