A Father's Apology To a Son
My heart is heavy and bleeding
The countless nights and days I left you standing all alone
But I’m your dad- A man
When you get older, you’ll understand
I compromised your love
I compromised your attention
I compromised your time
Sorry my dear son, daddy just lost his steps
But I’m a man-
When you get older, you’ll understand
I felt your sadness, loneliness and anger
But when you saw me, your whole world came back together
But I’m your dad- a man
When you get older, you’ll understand
A man’s decision will always be a man
Either for the right or wrong reasons
But you are my son and I’m your father
Nothing changes that, it stays the same
After those incalculable days of disruption in our relationship
I fear the worst to come from you
And when I wonder on my excuse to give you on my arrival
You ran like a top sprinter-
Embrace me with the tenderness of your heart and asked-
“Papa you bring my candy”?
Because you know I’m your dad- A man
And when you become a man, you’ll understand
Because you will express same to my grandson
