Best Fathercare Poems
i was on facebook the other day
just to see what was new
i decided to check under your name
and found out i made a mistake.
i decided to read your posts
and now i am sorry i did
i found out what you spend your time doing
later that night i cried.
you spend all you time with her
never thinking about me
everything you do she does too
she follows you around like a puppy
as i did to once upon a time ago
but now i have learned
you care more about your stupide mafia wars
and your drinking wars
and farmville
to care about me
now i understand
the reason you dont like me is becuase
i dont play a victory sone and give you a
virtual trophy
whenever you decide to do something right for a change
instead i love you
i care for you
i write you cards
i draw you pictures.
but now i understand that all those sentimental things
dont matter in your wotld.
no, getting drunk out of your mind
and killing vitrual people does it for you instead
its nice to know you still care
its nce to know that i still have a father in you
but now i know that i could never replace facebook.
or your trusty computer.
i love you too dad, i really do.
TAKE THE SHORTS CORNER
DON’T GO CORNER TO CORNER
TAKE THE SHORTS CORNER
GIVE A LITTLE OF LOVE TO THE ONE
WHO IS STEALING HER DREAMS
AS SHE TRIES TO TAKE CARE OF HER BOYS
SHE TRY TO KEEP THEM TOGETHER
WITH HARDLY A PLATE OF LOVE
TIL SHE MET A MAN , HE SHOW HER THE WAY
HELPING HER GET ON HER FEET
AND WALK THIS WAY
SHE SOON HAD A DAUGHTER
BUT NO MONEY TO RAISE HER
SO SHE MADE A WISH TO FIND HER
AS SHE LET HER GO SO YOUNG
TO A LADY THAT ONCE HELP HER WITH HER BOYS
SHE REMEMBER YEARS LATER
AND ASK HER TO TAKE CARE OF HER DAUGHTER
SHE TOOK CARE OF HER BOYS THE BEST SHE COULD
YET SHE DIE AT A YOUNG AGE
MISSING HER DAUGHTER
HER DAUGHTER FOUND THE BOYS
AND LEARN ALL ABOUT HER
NOW THE FAMILY BECAME ONE
TAKE THE SHORTS CORNER
DON’T GO CORNER TO CORNER
LOVE SOMEONE WHO IS UNFORTURE
YOU WILL HAVE A RICH HEART
NEVER TO PART
FINDING EACH OTHER LOVE
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF LETING TEARS
