Daddy Here Yet Gone
he participated in bringing you here
my precious one ...I thank God for you as I stare at you in loving awe — mixed with fear
cause daddy is here—yet gone
how can he be under the same roof with us; yet we’re alone
it appears all he wanted was to spread his seed;
naive to your emotional needs
I’ll do my best in hopes you don’t follow his lead
clearly not God’s intent for raising you
which is why God made it so that procreating takes two
