Joe

When you left you said, you didn't wanna see me cry, when I was growing up I had no man by my side, to teach me how to play ball or fight or think twice about anything I do in my life, You left a hole in my heart aswell as in my mind, so many questions left unanswered, Why did you leave?, Why me?, I'm just like you, but why didn't you wanna see?, How come I didn't get a card on my birthday?, Or a phone call?, Were you busy?, for 21 years in a row?, You might have loved me, but now you will never know, so, thank you Joe, you did teach me a few things, you taught me real men are good fathers, you taught me to believe in myself,because you didn't bother, you taught me no matter what I could never be like you, a coward.
