Deadbeat Dad Named John

I know a deadbeat dad named John , who knew he had a daughter from the time she was born, everywhere we were he tried to have a relationship with her . Finally that day came he gave her a call . He did nothing but blame ,not getting to see her but,she knew the truth . She let him know he was wrong as he denied being her dad all this time now that she was grown . Oh, how he made me mad as she began to cry, saying we were never together at anytime. After twenty-six years only me to get to raise her so , You're a deadbeat dad I raised her alone no help from you . So many more deadbeats out there just like you a Deadbeat Dad Named John.

as a live beat ting dad of two darling daughters, a silent replay of their growing up years stings me psyche. hobnailed by emotional/ mental issues, i oft time shrugged giving them attention, though as they got older greater attempts to communicate their true value got risked. now...they maneuver on a course divergent from mine, and sadness arises that fate will find us forever veering into dia metrically opposed directions.
