The Time Will Come… A Letter From Dad

A Letter from Dad
by Sar Castillo

The time will come when my hands are not the ones you will reach for in times of need.
The time will come when my voice will be the last one you’ll want to hear.
The time will come when I will be the one seeking your undivided attention.
The time will come when your friends will seem more important than our family.
The time will come when you’d rather not eat together with the family.
The time will come when you make up stories to get away from responsibility.
The time will come when home is the last place you want to be in.
The time will come where you will try and argue your way out of a bind.
The time will come when I let you win because loving means not being right all the time.
The time will come when someone’s betrayal may seem to break you.
The time will come when nothing in the world will seem to console you.
The time will come when the only option is God’s Love.

These times WILL come…

The time will come when all I can do is pray.
The time will come when my words will hold no sway.
The time will come when you are old enough to realize the truths in what I wrote.

The time will come when I will no longer be around…
To hold you,
To console you,
To be there for you,
To remind you…
That no matter what, no matter how and no matter when…

I will ALWAYS be YOUR Dad and I LOVE you.
