[hometext] => Just some thoughts sparked when my son put his head on my shoulder this evening!
[bodytext] => Why did my dad Do to me the things he did? Why did my dad Say to me the things he said I guess I will never know For six years my dad has been dead Why did my dad Not allow me to have friends over? Why did my dad Not allow me to go places with my friends? I guess I’ll never know, The question in my mind never ends. Why did my dad Beat me with a belt? Why did my dad Lock up all my toys? I just don’t understand Why I couldn’t hang out with the other boys. Many people Have no idea what my childhood was like. I had hand-me-down toys And it took forever to get a new bike As a child my dad didn’t spend much time with me. As a child Those things I did not understand or see. Then came the teenage years When I was thrown out on my own Just because I did not agree Or to my dad’s rules I did not condone. Every day of my life I look back to what a family life I had Every day of my life I remember there was nothing between me and my dad. He never held me in his arms And said son I love you so. He never took me places Where I would really enjoy to go. My dad never took me on a trip Just him and I. My dad will never take me on a trip Because in 2006 he had to die. I don’t write this poem In anger or regret It only taught me how to love my kids Now that you can bet! Dear dad I know you must be in heaven Dear dad I know your spirit is somewhere in the sky Dear dad, Why did you leave Without telling me all the reasons why? Daddy I am still alive here on earth Just know I forgive you So your soul can have a rebirth. Daddy Someday we will meet again When it’s time for me to leave this Earth.
