I Don'T Care

I Don’t Care. Would my father have left, if I was not born? And would I have become his favorite son? If he’d let me, if he’d let me. Would I have become, the son I became, If he’d stayed in my life? And if he had stayed, Would I still be? Or would I be? The same as I am! Angry at my Dad! Or would I see, he’s not worth it? And I don’t care! That Daddy wasn’t there. I don’t care! How he is now. And I don’t care! That Daddy wasn’t there; Because I have love, from my Mother. So rejoice with me, because I speak my mind And I say what I mean and I’m not angry, Because I don’t care; no I don’t care. And if you can relate, to the words I say And you understand, what I’m saying today, Then it’s ok; yeah it’s ok. And I don’t care! That Daddy wasn’t there. I don’t care! How he is now. And I don’t care! That Daddy wasn’t there; Because I have love, from my Mother. And I don’t care! That Daddy wasn’t there. I don’t care! How he is now. And I don’t care! That Daddy wasn’t there; Because I have love, from my Mother. So I thank you Mom, for the love you gave; For your warm embrace and your smiling face And I do care, yeah I do care. Because you were always there! You never walked away! You are always there! If I need you. I thank you Mom! For everything you’ve done And I do care, now and always. (C)2013 Aa Harvey.
