Your arms around me I've never felt
At least not that I remember
I was born in late July
You died a year later in September

I wish you could have waited
Until I could remember your voice
But death came to you by surprise
It really wasn't your choice

I had to grow up without you dad
My children you'd never see
But through my life and through my heart
You'll always live in me

The others say you're not my dad
Because I never knew you
But even though you were not there
I still am part of you

I forgive you dad for leaving me
You didn't ask to go
I really wish I'd known you dad
I just wanted you to know.
P.S. Dad... I love you.
