My Daddy
Once I had a daddy
That loved me as his kid
He always loved me unconditionally
No matter what I did
I used to have a daddy
That thought I was the best
I was his little princess
I was above the rest
I used to have a daddy
That cared about my life
He would work all day
To supply for his child and his wife
But now I have a daddy
That can’t remember my name
He never writes or calls
I feel I am to blame
Now I have a daddy
And all he does is drink
I wait til he falls asleep
And pour it all down the sink
What happened to my daddy?
How can this possibly be?
I will always love my daddy
But does he love me?
I don't have the greatest relationship with my father either. When I was little I remember that I had a "daddy" that did the things in your poem like...
"He always loved me unconditionally
No matter what I did"
and
"That cared about my life
He would work all day
To supply for his child and his wife"
but the past 8 years he's left, and never written, only when he sends the child support, and sometimes I feel as tho he doesn't remember MY name. Ive grown to "dislike" him. But sometimes I wonder about him and why he did the things he did, and sometimes I wonder if, somewhere deep under all those deranged thoughts of his, if he still cares for his family.
Sorry to ramble on, but thanks for sharing your poem, I was just randomly picking something to read...and this one was the one I happened to come across, it touched me deeply because I feel as tho I can relate.
Peace
