The man I never knew

Shamara wanelle lastachia fabre’

There is a reason for everything, but why, god, did you take him away? My family says that I look just like the man I never knew. Momma says she can’t see herself in me, she only see’s him. I see his face in what blurry memories I have of him, But not in the mirror. The memories I wish would become clearer. My name is his. Lil wink is the name, and it makes me think. I wish I knew him. I wish I remembered. From what I hear he was a good man. Always did more than enough for the fam. Even for the kids that weren’t his, He loved them just as much. I’m so torn by the death of a man I don’t remember. Things would be different, if he were here today. I wonder what he would say. The look on his face to see that his little girl is growing up. If he’d be proud or disappointed buy the choices i’ve made. Three young years of life spent with this man. No memories remain. Five years of living with strangers, And the news comes to me. And I don’t remember. Three young years of my life, not in my memories. Only an obituary to a funeral I was not able to attend, A lost newspaper clipping, And a few pix. And my teddy bear, who still has no name. One big picture of him in the slip of my binder. He’s looking down at the camera. It feels like the man I never knew will always be looking down at me.

I miss you… Though I don’t remember you.

My daddy, wink, wendell joseph fabre’
