Father

Father
what does that really mean
never there for me never cared for me
I stood there all alone
Your child your daughter
no protection for me 
you not only scared me 
you left me with a scar on my face
no pitty no shame I faced the world 
as I do now all alone
Does it hurt....yes
Do I care No can't miss what never had
Not uncommon, kids left to fend for themselves
all alone please care for them
Fathers today put it down
cherish your girls 
So they will know what it really means to say
Father
