My Dad(14 Lines)

my father was never there
he has no love to share

my mother was so strong
teaching me right from wrong

sometimes I sit and cry
asking myself why

he just up and left forever
we didn’t spend a minute together

I still love him to the end
I even wrote a note to send

I hope he read it and learn
that my love is only earned

he will always be my father
even though he didn’t bother
