I never thought I would see the day <br />That my dad would treat my mom that way. <br />It happened oh so fast. <br />Her body ended up in a cast. <br />What could have been going through his mind <br />To be so cruel and unkind? <br />I just can't understand <br />How he could act like such a madman. <br />Now I fear I'll end up like dad, <br />Forgetting that hitting a woman is very bad. <br />If the saying is true: 'Like father, like son.' <br />Will I also be the guilty one? <br />There is something I can do, <br />Dad, so I won't end up like you. <br />I'll get help quick for my anger, <br />And never act toward a woman <br />Like a violent stranger.<br /><br />Jeff Fleischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-never-thought-i-would-see-the-day/
