Mama Uph Ubaba

Mama uph uBaba Mother where is my father? Mother where is my second teacher? Mother where is the man in my life? that will teach me manhood with love, care and integrity Mother where is my strongest point? because I have the soft spot and that is you...his so called but to me mom, you are my angel I just dont know to him Because sometimes I feel like I am adopted when I see my friends playing with their fathers at their home my brothers calling their fathers even my sisters calling their father with their name what about me mom? one foot can't run Its like I am lost when I see happy families some disrepecting their fathers not realising how much I miss mine I mean the pain and anger it just makes me want to cry mama where is my father/ does he knows about me I mean the angel he left with you mother am I the reason of your seperation If not then why he left us mom/ what about me mom? were you working while he left you? did you have shelter or food to eat/ what was he thinking mom? Because he was the one who was there busy promising you the moon, the stars and the sky stealing your joy while killing your future but now I understand mom you was blinded by love and your age was against you but he took advantage of you using you while you gave him a son mother he never cared about you!!! he never cared about me!!! he never cared about the family that he started himself!!! was he drunk mom? was he high mom? was he goof mom? actually he was himself full of himself a man who desperately needed a family but having no intellectually wisedom to mainatin his family I am sorry mama and please God make me a better man everyday....
