Ricky Trevor Treloar
41 yrs have past since I last saw your face
why is our family so out of place
if only you knew I was not like the rest
you and I would have been connected more than the others
I wish I had you as a partner throughout the years
maybe my life would have felt like a breeze
I miss you every day, and I pray one day
we will finally get to say G'day
I have spent years searching for you
but the siblings I was left with couldn't stay away
as your father and I were connecting
their need to be the center of everything, pushed him to disconnect
so I do wish you were the one I was left with
but, I do think how lucky you were to have left
they are a selfish lot, and can't see beyond themselves
I am glad you had a better life than if you were here
but every now and then, I wish it was me
so I shall still dream that one day, you and I will find each other
but, till then I am on my own
for this family couldn't give a toss about me
I will no longer go out of my way to see them either
Ricky Trevor Treloar, you were blessed the day she walked out that door
