Raised Without A Father

Listen to poem:
Being raised without a father is like living with one ear and one eye Disabled is the way the child would feel leaving him to wish he would die Where are the fathers that are making the babies these days Being a father isn't a game or just a short phase It's a gift, a privilege and a responsibility You can't disappear then reappear when that child is a teen They need you because most things come in pairs Do you really think the child would turn out right with you not being there From day one it needs to hear the sound of your voice Being made and brought into the world wasn't that child's choice Child support won't cut it to view your problem solved Being there financially isn't the only thing involved The judge forced you to do that to make up the time away from me It's better to be there for your child than to be called "Father Deadbeat
