Dad Essay, Research Paper

DAD

He left me when I was a baby

Before I was even born

But to think he never tried to find me

Makes me shiver through the bone.

Wondering year after year

Whether he would try to find me

But the more I thought of it

The more I thought he had gone forever.

Fifteen years later

He?s back on the scene

He?s made it obvious he?s still as mean.

He walks back in

As though nothing has happened

But I know he will only start

Repeating his pattern.

Whenever I have needed him

He has never been there

And then I have always felt bare.

But now I have got the chance

To get to know him

It all seems too late

Because he cant expect to be able

Too act like my mate.

He can?t just walk back in

And start acting like my old man

Even if he wants too

Or thinks he can.

So much for a decision

I guess that?s long dead

Because he made that for me

Fifteen years ago

When he slept in someone else?s bed.

My mind
