The Absent Father <br /> <br />He is just a child, <br />Wondering why he hasn't got a father, <br />Like all the other children at school, <br />He is wondering why so many people have ostracised him, <br />For something that's not his fault. <br /> <br />Wondering why his father has never contacted him, <br />He is always hoping for a Christmas card or a birthday card, <br />His dreams of being part of normal family are always unfulfilled. <br /> <br />What of his father, <br />Is it the fear of having to come face his responsibilities, <br />Or is it the fear of having to come face to face with his mistakes, <br />That has caused him to be forever absent? <br /> <br />By Christopher Tye<br /><br />Christopher Tye<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-absent-father/
