A Letter To My Father

The bible says to train up a child in the way it should go but how can you train them if youre not there? you think that its makin the situation better but it really seems like you dont care why when i call you, you dont answer? like im not even your child. and its not because i want something its just that i havent spoken to you in a while maybe it was the death of your parents, that causes you to do what you do you run away like a slave in hiding idk, thats just my excuse for you. i think ive seen you 3 times this year and each time i had to be strong. its not the money you dont give me but its the lack of effort that makes you wrong if it was up to my mother, i wouldnt love you. trust me; i would hate you with a passion, my friend but lucky for you i have a strong love, thats life-love and will never end. when you read this letter, will you decide to be there? will you have a change of heart? or have you always wanted to love me? but just didnt know where to start? all these questions and no answers if you would talk to me then i would know can you pick up the phone and call me? because there's a million questions more! i may act like i dont care, just to soothe my mother's attitude but the truth is, you can come back anytime. i'll welcome you with gratitude although everbody may not use it we all have a heart as for me, i guess i'll be waiting... no matter when you decide to start.
