The Absent Dad

I am the image of my Dad, and when you're away, it makes me sad. I need you here, to learn and grow, because without you, you never know, I am the image of my father, and being with you makes me stronger. I am a small boy now, but growing each day, I need you around to help me play. My dad should teach me right from wrong, and how to sing your favorite song. To love and be loved, that is your job, but of these things you will be robbed. If you think it's not important to stay, you may regret your decision one day. To love and be loved, that's my job too, but without you around, how will I do? There are things I need to know in life, like how to choose a suitable wife. Unimportant these things may seem to be, I don't know why you just can't see, the most important parent for me is you, and you need to fully understand that too! In your place, who should I choose? Is there another that can walk in your shoes? Not in my eyes and I need you to know, Without you around, I cannot grow. You are very special to me, you see, and I need you to want to be around me. I want to say "hey that's my dad", and when you hear that, you will be glad. Sometimes I look all around me and see, other kids with their dads and wish it was me!
