Listen to poem:

I'll be happy when I reach my goal.
Meanwhile I'm sad because
I'm not even close to getting there.

and make it dependent on 
goals and changes needed 
to get the rewards they bring?
It is so self-defeating, a poor excuse!
I can be happy now,
with what I've got now,
with whom I am now,
enjoying the journey,
instead of chasing rainbows....

Father
Father that is what my dad was
Father that is what you are not
Your sons had no one as a role-model

Even for them you were not there
Wife after wife had no help from you
So the children suffer for want of a dad
You have no shame no conscience
Your ability to care to feel empathy
Is gone down the sewer drain
You are a poor excuse of a father
Hence a poor excuse of a MAN...
