Dear Dad

It is now twenty years I still recall the tears I still recall the shame Dad you are to blame I know this you did not expect You will call it disrespect sorry but you I respect. Dad I remember The memories fresh in my calendar Her tears and pain imprinted in my heart Dad my mother you did hurt As a good woman she played her part She never ever set your heart apart. when we did good I and brother we were as bright as the father when we did wrong I and brother we were as foolish as our mother so we were beaten like our mother she wiped our tears she ended our fears. Dear dad here I am Growing into a man will it please you when I beat my wife too will it please you when I call my wife a fool too will it please you when my children never call me dad I find this hard dad. Dad that woman you called a fool she taught me to respect women in full she taught me that a woman Is a necessity to a man she taught me never To lay a hand on a woman ever Dad this foolish wife Taught me how to love in my life
