***FATHER'S DAY*** Cant help but wonder IF?

What if you never had molested me, 
How would I feel about you on this day? 
Cant help but wonder if you thought about 
how you would change the meaning of this day, 
ON the day you chose to molest me? 

As I sit here in TEARS and wonder 
how it feels for the other Fathers 
and Daughters who Celebrate this day 
together in Love and Respect for each other. 

I wonder if they are shedding TEARS too today? 
But are they TEARS of joy,happiness and love for each other? 
Or are they like my TEARS of Sadness,and Pain, 
Tears for all my loss,all you stole from me. 

I cant help but wonder if? 
IF your moment of perveted pleasure was truly 
Worth this LOSS to you? 

Yes Daddy I have given you cards on this day, 
and as I grew older I also gave you gifts on this DAY. 
But they were givin out of Expectation from your good 
little girl,not from the true understanding of the meaning 
of this special day. 

You stole that away too, 
On that day you chose to molest me. 
I cant help but Wonder IF? 
IF you sit there today, 
Waiting for the card or the call from me, 
That will never come. 

I cant play the game anymore Daddy, 
And I wonder if you truly can? 
Was it worth it? To lose control of 
your perveted urges?To lose all that today 
should stand for? 

And I sit here in TEARS and wonder if 
You thought about how much more you would lose, 
On the day you came to my home 5years ago and 
Chose to molest my Daughter? 

Did you not take enough from me? 
And I wonder on both those days,her's and mine, 
How you did not see,you took away all chances of 
ever feeling or Knowing the true meaning behind this day. 
or any other days of the year. 

I wonder if it was worth it Daddy? 
Do you sit there and cry? 
And do you wonder what if? 
Guess in the end it does'nt matter. 

Youve sealed your faith of never Knowing 
What if? sealed it Forever. 
The day you took from ME and from my little 
Girl,You lost me and your grandauther's 
innoncent love 
for You. 
So as I sit here in tears Daddy, 
Not for your loss 
But for mine and my childrens, 
I cant help but wonder what if? 
If you would of only took a moment to wonder 
yourself what if? before you chose to act out your 
perveted thoughts,what if you had'nt chose to act out? 

How would today be for the both of us? 
would I be with you? Shedding these TEARS? 
Would they be Tears of Joy as I watched you play 
with your Grandchildren? 
But I will never Know DADDY,And neither will YOU, 
not today or on any other FATHER'S DAY.Or any DAY 
of the year. moon/linda
