Donna Newton Poet Rhyme

Meaningless Father

NOW THAT I AM OLDER I CAN 
TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU MEAN 
 A FATHER PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE
TO A LITTLE GIRLS SELF ESTEEM

A LOT OF LITTLE GIRLS
CAN'T SAY THEY'RE AS
 LUCKY AS ME BECAUSE 
THEIR DADS DON'T COME 
AROUND OR ACKNOWLEDGE 
THEM BEING OFFSPRING

I FEEL SO VERY SORRY
FOR THOSE GIRLS ESPECIALLY
THEY WILL SEARCH AND SEARCH
 FOR THEIR FATHER'S LOVE
 AND THEY SEARCH FOR IT
ENDLESSLY

FOR A FATHER THEY ARE
ALWAYS LOOKING
NO MATTER WHERE IT BE
TO FILL THE HOLLOW SPACE
 INSIDE OF THE ONE THING 
THAT is ALWAYS MISSING

THEY WILL USUALLY SETTLE 
FOR A MAN  WHO WILL 
DELIVER A DAILY BEATING
BECAUSE OVER A PERIOD 
of TIME THEY BELIEVE THAT
 THEY DON'T DESERVE hiM

THE ONE THING, I WOULD TELL
THOSE GIRLS IS THAT
EVERYTHING WILL BE OK
NO ONE NEEDS A FATHER
FIGURE THAT NEGLECTS
THEM ANYWAY

TODAY IS THE DAY, I WILL TELL 
MY DAD JUST HOW MUCH HE MEANS 
ON SECOND THOUGHT THERE'S NOT 
ONE MEMORY HE'S EVER CREATED 
WITH ME

FOR ME HE'S NEVER BEEN THERE, FOR 
A BIRTHDAY OR EVEN HALLOWEEN 
I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE CHILD OF HIS MOTHER 
WHAT SHE RAISED, IS A USELESS HUMAN
BEING

 THE DAUGHTER OF MY MOTHER
IS WHO I'M PROUD TO BE 
MY MOTHER IS ACTUALLY DOING 
A GREAT JOB  SO MUCH SO 
THAT MAN'S WORTHLESS TO ME
