His Name Is Jack

Once there was a name I knew
I held it in my heart.
JACK
Once there was a hero I imagined
but only his name I knew.
Jack
Once there was a word I loved,
and it was
Jack

All my dreams, all my fairytales, and even stories
revolved around one name.
Jack

My mind kept him real, my heart loved him so
Jack

Then there was a name I hated,
it too was Jack
A man I wanted to hurt,
his name was
Jack
A hero I never knew
Jack

Once I found a man,
his name was
Daddy
Once I loved a part of myself,
I called him daddy
Once I learned
how to love and be loved
all because of
Daddy

One day I made the choice
all for
Daddy
I made the plans, I choose the place
and I buried my daddy,
Jack

For my daddy Jan 19, 1954-August 26, 2001
Daddy you were my light, my hero-myself and my love
my every dream come true
