Daddy never knew me. <br />He never took the time. <br />Never came to birthday parties. <br />Never recited a nursery rhyme. <br />Never held my hand. <br />We never watched 'The Little Mermaid', <br />never 'Peter Pan'. <br />He never payed any child support <br />instead, he pressured Mom to abort. <br />Wasn't there when his baby cried. <br />Wasn't there when poor Mommy died. <br />Wasn't there to see me to prom. <br />It wasn't his job (he'd left it to Mom!) <br />Didn't get to know me. <br />I suppose that he was scared. <br />I felt as though he didn't want me. <br />He just felt unprepared.<br /><br />Amanda Lukas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2-daddy/
