Barbara Washington Poet Free verse

The Man That Was His Dad

Five years old
Looking down the road
For the man that was his dad

Once in a while
He came around
The man that was his dad

The man he remembers
That came with a glimmer
Of hope, left him alone again

Those was the days
His mama took the blame
For his dad’s no returns

Now a man with a goal
Eighteen years old
Looking for the man that was his dad

Now twenty-two
He knows the truth
His mama took the blame 
For the man that was his dad
