No Daddy For Me

Please don't be angry at me My serious poetic friend I meant not to hurt you I erased the words I sent I never had a father I only had a Mom She worked to feed and Clothed us and spanked my bum But when I read the comments That you are a father too Not one but two girls The words just came This Poem is for you I am sorry if I hurt you I really meant no harm I am not a city person I grew up with animals Running barefoot on a farm You and I Are kindred spirits With souls much alike This poem is an apology Not meant out of spite.

kelli, I just had to read this because I, too, had no dad on my list even though his Love was my only wish but my young heart is what he did resist which used to anger me but in the midst of all his neglect, I became a good man, I insist, and now, all I have is this ass for him to kiss....that really touched me....

A glimpse into your life... a confessional piece reminiscent of the poetry of Anne Sexton. Well done Kelli! Keith
