Waiting to be Known

its been eight years now,
your little girl is growing up so fast,
she hasn't seen your face recently,
all she has is the memories of the past,
she yells why does it have to be like this,
why wont you come see me daddy,
is she not worth the travel,
or is she just not in your thoughts anymore,
she wonders if you have found another to take her place,
in another life and another time,
are you the same man she saw so many years ago.
do you still love her as your own,
does anyone in your circle of friends,
know you have a daughter waiting to be known
