Her Daughter's New Father

A presence seems no longer here,
A father figure, fades away.
He has moved on, a different family.
A different life, erase the old.
He is her daughter’s new father,
my Wednesday dad, my mother says,
and someone else’s the other days.

I look back before he left,
and all he had was three of us.
It’s all he cared, he was always there,
a different man, a different life.
I must let go, accept the truth,
accept the reality of another sister.
A child whom his entire world revolves,
whose blood belongs not to him.

However, to see him hug, to kiss and to care,
was something with mom that was never there.
His happiness now matters most to me,
I must let him go, I must let it be.
