[hometext] => This poem is true. It probably isnt' a good write but I tried to make a long and painful story short.
[bodytext] => Where are you dad? Where did you go? I’m grown up now but still don’t know What made you leave the way you did A wife of fourteen years, along with four kids. I was only twelve when you went away We spent summer with grandma, you couldn’t stay You had to go back to work, that was no crime But little did I know it would be the last time. Days went on, The weeks went by I notice my mother beginning to cry She didn’t tell me, though I knew she had a secret So I read her diary to discover it And when I did the pain made me lose my breath The secret was my mother was facing death. She had breast cander and called to let you know you were suppose to arrive for the surgery but didn’t show. You didn’t even call, you didn’t even care! What hurt most of all that you wasn’t there! When your wife needed you most, you left her alone! She dealt with a chronic illness and a husband being gone! Thirteen years later and still I get ***** No excuse can make up for you acting as if we don’t exist! But we made it Daddy! and we’re no longer sad Because My mother was the best father that we ever had.
