Father
Father dear father
Copartner in my life
flesh of my flesh
bone of my bones
alpha adam ancestor
Daddy growing up
you’re my hero
my idol my mentor
i look to you for strength
Papa why do you drink
why are you so angry
why do you hate
why the shame
Pop following in your footsteps
i am a drunk too
why do i do what I hate
so much like you
Papa we are getting older
you are close to death
too late too soon
to know what i know
Dad many years gone
i still miss you
I know now You
Loved Me
Love, your son …
