Dear Dad Love Son
You ignore me,you deny me
you made me feel unwanted.
What did I do wrong?
I asked to be loved like a father to a son.
I wanted to learn,to grow
to know what a family is.
All my friends play catch with their dads
I don't even get to see mine.
Are you listening?
I'm right here Dad look at me!
Years have passed:I am now 9 years old.
I am in school and I am doing well!

9 more years have passed:I am 18 now

I want to do something with my life
I am going to do something good!
