Single Day Father

.

Am a Single Day Father, like my father.
I have never accepted my son,
And show him my inner feelings,
This is a trend which comes from my father,
He never became dad to me,
I never saw him holding me,
Buying me sweets and big G!
Never had sleep on his chest!
And feel the love from his heart!
Look at me! I have father but nor dad!
Shame on me course I have done the same,
Left my son with her mother,
Never feel bad for that,
Shame on my father for he created this.
They say, I was illicitly child.
Borne under sinful love,
What about my son?
Is he the same?
I am a Single Day Father, like a Father like a Son.

Jesus died for our sins, he knew we could not be perfect in flesh bodies. Forgiveness is there for the asking and then we are free from it... enjoy life for this blessing friend..Donna
