Daddy Dearest

Threw away your family values
Took away my mother's pride
Could've been a better person
You spread your seed before you died

All you had to do was be there
But you were never there at all
Instead you spent most of your life
With drugs and alcohol

I remember all the heartache
All those nights my mother cried
While you were out with so called friends
Out to get some satisfied

In the end you turned out worthless
A homeless dying bum
We'll both never know how it feels
To be a father and a son

Tim Smith Date: 7/11/2015 11:00:00 AM That is a tough pill to swallow Billy. My dad was consumed by work. Missing out on his family. I am there for everything my children do. A lesson learned in how not to be a dad. Login to Reply Billy Hitz Date: 7/12/2015 11:02:00 AM I agree. Lessons learned to be a better person.
