Father do you ever think of me, <br />Your child, your son? <br />Do you really care if I am hungry, <br />Or naked, or sick, <br />Or if I don’t go to school? <br />Do you ever remember my birthday, <br />Or the fact that I was born? <br />Do you feel safe in your amnesia, <br />Not wanting to remember, <br />Because it is so much easier to forget? <br />Father would you be surprised, <br />If I grew up to be just like you, <br />Uncaring, unloving, <br />And irresponsible too?<br /><br />Marva Seaton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-child-asks/
