Best Fathermother Poems


The Missing -- Father's Son

Joseph-----born in October 1994—to your Mother and her family.
When I collided with your Mother—in 1993—all she was-
absence for------was you!
All she would declare is---She needed a child to complete her- 
A Son or Daughter ----that did not matter to her!

If this echo is all too familiar--- I assure you--- it is NOT!
You see --my dearest Joseph --you are THE MISSING -- FATHER’S SON.
You have only known one view of this great epic —But--- today—you 
will hear of THE MISSING -- FATHER’S SON.
Forced by your Mother and her family to NEVER--- have communion 
with you!

Given your Mother’s madden name at birth--- you lived in her- 
universe.
Unable to communicate with the out-side world--- forced to never-
have communion ---with me--- MY ONLY SON!!
You see my dearest Joseph--- you are THE MISSING -- FATHER’S SON.
Only one BEING would know my PAIN--- without you-- MY ONLY 
SON!!

It would seem some evil force be-hide the whole perplexity.
You force by your mother and family---- into--- a fatherless child’s-- world
Me forced to live with-out----- my only Son—which cause YOU to be-
THE MISSING -- FATHER’S SON.
I am sure reality has been restrained from YOU-----your entire life.

 Only one BEING would know my PAIN--- without you-- MY ONLY 
SON!!
But---- HE sent HIS-- only SON to the CROSS--- To die for you and me.
Beaten, bruised, tormented and Crucified----beyond recognition---for OUR SINS!!
ALL THANKS be to HIS Heavenly Father----because with-out HIM---
you would not have a Padre.

You see --my dearest Joseph --you are THE MISSING -- FATHER’S SON.
If some evil force is present—he would know that the HEAVENLY—
Father is your father ------after all.
Because HE -----and HE alone ----can only be a Father to the 
Fatherless.
I leave with you my final plea—you would KNOW HIM as your- 
DADDY!!

You Will Never Know

I just wanted you to see how I grew
But you’re the father I never knew
I want to ask that man
Why he had to let go of my hand 
Why he didn’t at least try to make me understand
I wanted to show you so many things
Share with you all of my dreams
If you loved me how could you leave?
Was it mother or was it me
That you couldn’t bear to see
You didn’t even say goodbye
Is that why you had to lie
You make mother cry
But I just got tears in my eyes
They won’t come down and I know why
You do to
All the pain you put me through
And even though you were absent, I still love you
Now I spend more time alone
Keep wishing you could come home
So mother don’t have to do it on her own
I wish things could have gone different
But you didn’t appreciate the new life you was given
And now you’re not living
So I try to stay driven
But as I look into this casket
I wish you could answer all the questions I’m asking
But you’ll never get a chance to watch me grow
Because I’m the daughter, you’ll never know
