Terrible Dad

Terrible Dad

I am a terrible dad;
at least that's what they said.
Too many flaws
Too many faults,
That's what the cackling hens said.

Not rich enough
Not sober enough
Not broken enough
Not obedient enough,
That's what society said.

Too fast
Too free
Too sinful
to be; a dad.
Seems to be; what God said.
