You"re the Absent Father I Need
Dad I often wonder why and how? You can be my father and not acknowledge me as your child.
How do you do it? Lay down at night and go to sleep.
Knowing you have a son you don't know, you won't even call who will soon be a teen.
I am of age now and I recognize that you are absent in my life.
It is hurting me inside.
I have a picture of you dad and we look just alike.
Tell me how we live in the same city and you won't even stop by.
I want to know how and why? You and my mother may not get along.
But what did I do wrong.
Is mom the reason why you won't have anything to do with me.
I can't help I was conceived.
I guess to get back at her you have decided to take it out on me.
Did you know I was in counseling.
I need you daddy.
Mom can't tell me about the birds and the bees.
I'd rather hear from my dad about these things.
Only you dad can connect with the male side of me.
If you would be apart of my life I would be so happy.
Dad your the one that I need.
I know we can't turn back the hands of time.
But i'm old enough to make decisions based on my own heart and mind.
There comes a time when you can't point fingers anymore, moms phone calls you could ignore.
However I am almost a man now and I want to move on and with you I need and want more.
