I Have Followed You
I have followed along after you, although most of the time I was rebellious, but still, I followed. You have tolerated me beyond reason especially when I kept looking back at the things I had done and planned to do them again. I was not the child a father could be proud of. I did things I knew you hated. I have stomped on your principles and dragged them through the dirt and even turned my back on you. I have spent years of my life doing the things I wanted, only coming to you when I was beaten, hurt and ashamed of the things I had done, just hoping you would grab hold of me . But you did not. No. You could have but you did not. It was my choice and you let me make it over and over again until I finally realized you were not hoping to grab hold of me at all, but instead you were hoping I would grab hold of you.
