My Father's Story

Living a life without a father You may think no one bother The hurt and pain in his eyes Nothing he had but goodbyes He spent his years of life asking why Did he not come back or swung by No one to look up to No guidance on what to do Closest to a father was a gang banger Didn't do him good but use him as a hanger Made him do the bad deed Wasn't important to him more than a seed But he tried and tried to make him proud But all he did was shout at him out loud Finally giving up on the bad choices He began listening to those voices He found a one of a kind girl Who always made his mind whirl He mad her his And they had a kid That was the day his life turned around His destiny was found He now realizes that he came to a decision He's not going to be the day we see on television But the dad he never had The dad that will never make his child sad.
