The Invisible Dad

The Invisible Dad

By Paul McCann

Gathering some common-sense

from the love we shared in our past tense ,’

it’s a complicated thing to do

but how can I commence living without you .

Maybe if you have some time to spare ,

we could catch up and recover

the magic of all those times we once had

and forget about this  invisible Dad .

In the past tense way back then

before divorce took my  children ,

I still remember how it used to be,

time cannot  erased my memory

but If you choose to forget me ,

maybe you’ll live to regret

the day you turned away

and made me the invisible Dad ,

that one never had ,

the invisible Dad .

.

Kindness will remind you someday

and all your blindness will go away ,

when you see things in the present tense

and understand that it all makes perfect sense .

Will you ever come back to me ,

from the places I cannot see ,

maybe one day you will find a way to remember me

the invisible Dad  .

In the past tense way back then

before divorce took my  children ,

I still remember how it used to be,

time cannot  erased my memory

but If you choose to forget me ,

maybe you’ll live to regret

the day you turned away

and made me the invisible Dad ,

that one never had , the invisible Dad .
