Careless whispers, heartless talk <br />Where are you going with this? <br />“Daddy was not a man for me, mother was everything” <br />Ignorance breeds ugly talk <br />Mothers beware of crazy sounds bites <br />Of crazy gossip at the dinner table when daddy was gone <br />Sow not evil in the hearts of these young ones <br /> <br />Listen to her: <br />“Happy father’s day to all the great fathers out there <br />And to all the mothers who had to pick up the slack <br />From the not so great fathers … <br />Yes, so that means happy father’s day to my mother” <br /> <br />Daddy had his problems, we all know that <br />Daddy was daddy, taking you day care, changing your diaper <br />At your graduation, daddy was there <br />At the center of so much love was daddy <br />Yes daddy had his problems <br />But now mother says daddy was crazy <br />And daughter thinks father was a loser <br /> <br />“Daddy was a slacker, mother was everything” <br />Hearts drinking from a poisoned chalice <br />Gullible minds, stamped with resentment <br />Daughter talk in gossip conversation <br />Did not mother tell you the truth? <br />That daddy had his problems, but daddy will always love you <br />And daddy will never abandon you <br /> <br />Be careful daughter as you go on into the world <br />Think not of the world as without a man worthy of your praise or admiration <br />Or that you can take on the world by yourself … <br />Deep in the heart of every family is love <br />See the world with clear motives for survival <br />And realize that we weren’t born bad, neither were you or your mother <br />But most importantly, that daddy will always be here for you<br /><br />David Beckham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-whom-it-may-concern-fathers-mothers-and-daughters/
