if you read my post about my upcoming battle i was ready to walk away for my kids sake thinking they would better off without me fighting their mam to see them until i read this then it made me think no one ill make my kids feels this way also the song cats in the cradle makes think dads should never be pushed away heres poem hope it inspires you all it will bring a tear to the eye
When I was only two years old,
My daddy went away.
He swore he'd always love me,
But he said he couldn't stay.
Days turned into weeks
And weeks turned into years.
I never saw my father,
He never saw my tears.
He never read me bedtime stories
Or tucked me in at night.
He never showed up for my birthdays,
But I always hoped he might.
He missed my first day of kindergarten
And all of my school plays.
He doesn't know how smart I am,
My report cards full of A's.
Sometimes I want to call him
To say Hey Dad I'm still alive!
I'll be 16 years old soon,
Will you teach me how to drive?
It's almost time for college,
The years go by so fast.
I'm looking forward to my future,
But I'm still trapped within my past.
I guess I'll never understand,
Did I do something bad?
My parents got divorced,
But why did I lose my dad?
no problem it makes me cry everytime I read it thinking my son or daughter might feel like this one day because their spitfull mother cant get past her own issues with me so that gives her right to make my kids suffer for next 18 year
