Oh, father, were you there?
Many nights with boy scout buddies,
Lit marshmallows and shiny stars.
Hug n smile of friends’ daddies,
Just can’t cover my invisible scars.
I brought along my precious toys,
pretended I was abounded in joys.
But I yearn for the only star I adore,
it’s above where you left us for.
Oh, father, were you there?
When I flapped my featherless wings.
Oh, father, were you there?
When I longed for farther flying.
