if you got to know me..

how could you just leave a part of you

you never got to know

how could you abandon me

and not stay to watch me grow

im sure you would have liked me

and liked the things i do

im sure you would have liked me

just as much as id like you

i never understood why you never came around

it looks like what is lost is never to be found

im sure if you were around things wouldnt be that bad

i wouldnt always be so somber i'd finally have a dad

ouch! this one hit me personally. i know how this feels, been there...my own was on the road all the time supposedly "on a business trip", but was actually with some girlfriend...and when he was home, i'd get friendly with his fists...
i can't tell you how much this touched me, the sign of a true poem. damn.

My biological father was mt around when I was 12 my moms husband adopted me. My mom is my real mom amd my dad is every bit my dad. Sometimes it is better is that person isn't there. You never know how much chaos could have been introduced if they were there.

This is very emotional. It shows loss and abandonment. I like how the character wonders what would happen with a dad and is exploring the loss.

Simple and special! Great is the write, supreme is the writer!

[Coyote Poetry]

A very sad poem. To wonder about a father who never shown up leave a open question. One day if you desire. May find out the real reasons? Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
