When it comes to family, make every moment count

I’m sorry we’ve lost touch,

Your words helped mold a shapeless form,

Your lips preferred brevity,

Yet when crossroads peak,

And only one prong would benefit,

It does seem I opted wise

I believe, I truly do,

That it was you directing me through,

I apologize for any inconveniences I may have caused,

The lost space and time,

The overtures again and again

Over and over,

You sacrificed what you loved,

In order to rescue me,

From tear stained cloaks I wore,

To dire straits I may have crossed,

I believe, I truly do,

I’d be lost, if it weren’t for you

I regret every disrespectful deed,

Born from my action,

Yet it was some other boy,

Possessing me, stealing voice,

But this confession matters not,

These understandings you already knew,

Never once did I sink,

Not one step,

Not a second spent in thought,

Your unyielding forgiveness,

Did not spoil, like some would claim,

Instead I grew vast,

I learned what family means,

Forever more,

I’m stronger for,

I only wish I knew then, what I do now,

Never could I have guessed,

More time between us would not be spent,

That last time,

I forgot to admit my love for you-

But this, I believe, I truly do, you already knew
