Why

Why did you go? 
Where did you Go? 
Did you forget your son?
Your own flesh and blood?
How? How could you? 
You were my father! 
The man I looked up to,
hoped to be like and wanted to 
learn so much from! 

Years, years have passed! 
The boy you once knew is now 
the man you don't! 

So much you have missed in my life. 
School activities, choir concerts, 
prom, teaching me how to drive and shave! 

Why did you go? Where did you go? 
Was it worth missing so much? 
The years have passed and one thought 
crosses my mind...Why?

He'll regret his mistake one day, your already twice the man he ever was. Just remember, whats in the past needs to be left there. If you focus on it and what he's done its only hurting you. Forgive, forget, and move on, not for him but for yourself. God Bless!
