Deadbeat Dad

Your age is not a piece Of this purple puzzle unique To your lavished life You have cars that you give gas But you ignore filling up little lad Or little lady as a dad So many fathers with less are bothered Sacred fishing trips Creeks lakes in which take a dip You’ve been selfish and elfish Your miniature application of affection Doesn’t match or make a connection Love is an action word Not just felt and heard But received with red receipts How dare you never call Never show up to talk Never walk the holy walk despite flaws Someone did father you So you have a clue What to do There are men born of sin Who had much less than And they are awesome father’s awesome men Don’t worry he was taught To love you though you do not Deserve that which you don’t give freely You want a trophy A son for cookouts and parties When will you figure out you need To start with an apology and A conversation so deep It erases the negativity You are forgetting Your seed is a part of your destiny You can’t keep running
