    My Daddy

    My daddy used to be there for me,
    He used to hold me when I cried,
    He always used to know what to say,
    Now I know it’s all a lie.
    My daddy used to tell me he loved me,
    And that he’d never let me go,
    But at this moment I sit here,
    And I am all alone.


    My daddy left me stranded here,
    In this little thing called life,
    All I know is my daddy left me,
    For his new son and his wife.
    My daddy moved to another place,
    A place I cannot call,
    Everyday I question myself
    Did he ever love me at all?


    My daddy moved to North Carolina
    With his little wife named jay
    And I now I sit here all alone,
    It’s been 2 years since...so they say.
    My daddy doesn’t bother to call,
    Doesn’t even bother to try,
    While I sit here in my room all alone
    Trying not to make myself cry.

    For I write this poem with sadness and tears,
    But thank god my mom has stayed with me For all these many years.
    You see my mother is the best woman in the world
    At least that’s what I think
    But then again when someone has been through what I’ve been through, I don’t even have to think
    because I know that she’s there for me through the thick and through the thin,
    But the thing is I don’t know how to thank her I don’t know where to begin.
    And although I love my mother and I will always love her through and through,
    I will always miss my daddy and I will always love him too.

    You see my daddy is a unique man
    A man of little words to say
    He only says a couple of words,
    But I can still hear his voice to this day.
    It’s a shame how the last words I heard my daddy say
    Were words that were very strong
    he told me he never wanted to see me
    That seeing me was wrong.


    To finish this poem
    I have to say something small
    They may come out as just words
    But to me they are my one my all.
    I may never forgive my daddy
    For what he did to me
    But every day in my little mind,
    I ask him forgive me please.
    He told me I was the wrong one
    In his little thing called life
    But I think he’s the wrong one
    For leaving me for his wife.

    Doesn’t even bother to try,

    Trying not to make myself cry.

    Sweetheart, please allow me to share my brief story with you... My daughter, Patrice Carolyn graduated from high school in June 2007. She attended college for one day before she became ill from infectious mononucleosis. Within 6 days, she died in the emergency room of a San Francisco hospital. Patrice and i had a father/daughter relationship that most father's only dream about. As a result of her death, my life significantly changed forever. Let me get to the point.. When you hear people say that God works in mysterious ways, my daughter's death will ALWAYS be a mystery to me..whereas your relationship with your father puzzles me as well. There are times I allow myself to almost go completely crazy trying to understand how any father can dismiss his child the way it seems your father has dismissed you. The only reason I can share with you is that your father MUST have a deep rooted emotional problem for him to remove you from his life...One more VERY important thing you must be aware of and don't forget this.. "A MAN CAN BE A FATHER, BUT NOT EVERY MAN CAN BE A DAD" I stated this because in your poem you reference your father as being 'my daddy'. If I were you, I would immediately stop calling him daddy because he does not deserve that honor! God bless you sweetie! You WILL get through this and you WILL survive. Do your best in school and make something of yourself so that one day you can approach this 'man' so he knows exactly what he chose to remove from his new life...I feel very sad for him..

    It has been over a year since you've written this comment and I havent logged on since that poem was written, but I just need you to know that from the bottom of my heart I thank you for those kind words. Trust me when I say that you have opened my eyes and I am truly sorry for your loss.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
