My Missing Dad

when i was seven i got taken away from my mom and dad
and just knowing that they hate me makes me sad
i really want to meet my dad
but my mom told me he was dead and that she was glad
she hated my dad because he created me
and the tears that fall from my eyes he will never see
he was killed in a car crash on one sudden day
i think about him everyday
my mom said he died happy because i was never there
that he never liked me and he never cared
but sometimes i like to think that maybe he did
that maybe he really wanted me to be his kid
but he's gone so that does not matter any more
for now my heart will just continue to be sore

Your Mother was being extremely unkind and what was between her & your father was just that..between them. Believe...no man is unphased by creating a child. Light & Love

Lesa, I understand your feeling and emotion as a child longing to see her father. Don't be too sad my friend. We have a Father more our biological dad, our Heavenly Father. Love this poem. Ernilando

Your poem is heartbreaking, Lesa. Wish your mother didn't tell you your father didn't love you. I'll bet he would have if he'd had the chance to get to know you. Bless you, Carolyn

This story is a common one, but the tragic ending God who understands will give you comfort better than any ... he is always there to lean on ... our heavenly father eternal ... sorry for the pain. Love and smiles
