How Far Would I Go?

by Valerie   May 23, 2005


I know I shouldn't question God's plan
But I have often wondered
Just how far would I go
For one more minute with him

What would I do and how?
Would I give up all I have now?
Would I give up the friends and family I have grown to love?
Would I give up the life I have grown accustomed?

I know I shouldn't question God's plan
But I have often wondered
Just how far I would go
For one more minute with him

As I have grown older
I have come to realize he was not such a great guy
I know of his flaws
I know if his mistakes

I know of the pain he caused
I know of the choices he made
But most importantly
I know I miss him

The question is "Does he miss me?"
People tell me he loved me
They say I was the light of his life
They say I was his reason for living

Then why did he die?
Why did he drink?
Why did he drive?
Why did he forget about his children?

Should I forget about him?
Sometimes I wish I could forget
Sometimes I wish I could remember more
Sometimes I wish this was all a bad dream

But is the dream really a nightmare?
Is it worth giving up all I have?
Is one more minute worth a lifetime of regret?
Is he worth my tears?

I know I shouldn't question God's plan
But I have often wondered
Just how far I would go
For one more minute with him

You are the cause of my sorrow
You are the cause of my tears

I miss you, Dad

    is this true? so sad...you shouldn't forget about him-you should learn from him. A mistake doesn't only effect you individually it affects people around you. remember that the next time you make a decision. Every one makes mistakes don't let his be your memory. All human beings have flaws including yourself, me, and your father. nice poem.
