Big hands of this man	A
Who I remember as a child	B
Growing up in and at a time	C
When real men were fathers then	D
Supporting that family no matter what	E
Working their fingers to the bone	F
Trying to provide even in tough times	G
	-
Images of that man fall short in memory	H
Cloudy through a time when this man	A
Went AWOL on his family	H
Leaving us better yet leaving him behind	I
The only memory of him is a letter	J
From a court ordered payment and	K
Photographs of distant memories	L
Foggy but yet not forgotten	M
	-
My memories were years short	N
One year shy of beginning manhood	O
My changes coming naturally	H
With an absent man in my life physically	H
	-
I use to walk around	P
I used to walk around say	Q
I ain't got no daddy	H
He was absent from my life	R
And now I'm absent from his life	R
The images of him follow me	H
like a mirror it's like right there	S
Starring back at me	H
Unaware that image of him	T
Is that very image of me	H
But only only in the younger self	U
	-
Something my wise grandma told me	H
That stuck with me all my days	V
All my years even until now	W
That no matter what he's still your daddy	H
Deep in my heart there was anger	J
Anger toward him for leaving me	H
Going AWOL on your family	H
At any giving moment even in my lifetime	C
Yet that anger was still there	S
Grandma's words echoed deep inside my soul	X
And ringing in my ears so loud	Y
Until I wonder if her words are true	Z
	-
Even then	D
I wonder deep inside of me	H
But as time went onward	A2
My years is getting older and older	J
My respect for that man	A
Who I call daddy	H
Only by name he's that	B2
But until then I respect him	T
My daddy who I love even now	W
	-
Big hands of this man	A
Who I now know	C2
Even through years of re knowing him	T
In spite of feelings past	D2
I must look forward and celebrate	E2
Celebrate this man who I call my daddy	H
Big hands of this man	A
The years are showing on him now	W
The hair that once was black was whitened	H
Of years he collected through time	C
	-
June	F2
