Crossroads

When we moved across the little creek,

I saw it as a river,

but now, there’s an ocean between us

I miss my dad

I wonder what our lives would have been

If I had stayed.

But I had to go.

You encourage me to go

And live my life.

Now I return, after years,

To reunite with my dad.

You have the doll with you.

The one I gave you before I left

And we have all memories we lived

in the same house.

The room where you told me to go,

And the room I said I would miss you

The room where my mom cried

And the front yard she cried when I returned.

Now where I live,

I look outside the window

And I remember you Dad,

How you were

And how you took care of me.

I cross the creek that I saw as a river,

And now I can cross it anytime

There’s not a ocean on this earth

That can separate me from our memories

And our lives.
