To My Father

You opened your arms to hug me,
I pushed you away.
You were there to carry me when I was tired,
I wanted to walk alone.
You were willing to dry my tears,
I wanted to cry.
You wanted to be my Father,
I wanted to be an orphan.
Still you stayed, while I strayed.
And now I pray to the Heavens above,
To thanks my Heavenly Father for his everlasting love.
