Tracing 11 years back <br />Being just 5 years old <br />Fading memories, hard to track <br />I remember a story often told <br /> <br />My daddy went away <br />He said he couldn’t stay <br />But he promised it wasn’t good-bye <br />He promised, but he lied. <br /> <br />My school was filled on father’s day <br />Everyone came with their dad <br />That day, everyone stared at me <br />As I went all alone <br /> <br />My teenage years are troubled <br />I need guidance, I need you <br />To feel secure and to walk free <br />I need you, dearest daddy <br /> <br />Have you forgotten, papa… <br />About this child that is yours? <br />Ever kissed me goodnight? <br />You forgot me, how could you? <br /> <br />Throughout this tale, I suffer <br />Wondering what I did wrong <br />To be brought up without a father <br />The feelings, terrible to explain <br /> <br />I love you ever so much <br />But you are a liar in my mind <br />You left me in this disgraceful world <br />Forgetting your duties, forgetting me <br /> <br />A mere miracle of bringing a child <br />Into this atrocious beautiful world <br />Might make you a father by name, by law <br />But a daddy, you become not! <br /> <br /> <br />(DEDICATED TO CHILDREN WHO LOSE 1 PARENT AFTER THEIR DIVORCE) <br /> <br /> <br />NOVEMBER 11,2008<br /><br />sania harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-daddy-went-away/
