    A So Called Father

    Day late and a dollar short is what I tell him he is.
    He gets quiet and says well listen to this:
    "You are my daughter, he is my grandson. I love you both.
    Right about now my heart wieghs a ton.
    I never meant to hurt you,
    Though I do need to tell you,
    My heart lies in the wrong place.
    I need to get my life back on track,
    What I need is what I lack."

    I think about what is right for my son.
    I think about the life he will have.
    My heart says: "Is what he say what he means?
    Am I to believe this unknown man's words?"

    My mind is in a daze, I can't think straight.
    My heart pulsates at a fast rate.
    I want to believe him, I want to trust him.
    But my intuition tells me no, He's done this before.

    I can't open up, I can't let him in. My heart says no.
    My mind body spirit and soul say no.

    when my dad left i was very pissed off and couldn't believe what he had done it took every ounce in me just to look at him because when i did i saw the person he left my mom for. then he went they split up is when i really felt like i could speak with him and become closer i hear the same shit still... i am going to send you and the kids a card and never get one. he is out of state and we talk on the phone but i realize he is my dad and i would feel terrible if something happened to him and my last word to him would have been filled with hate... i know it's hard to trust what they say but sit back and think would you want it that way. i don't know what he has done and it's not my business but i hope you can make it through all this. best of luck and i loved reading this...

    This is really heart felt. Men really need to take into consideration when they do things like that. They never know, they may be raising the next Obama!

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
