Deadbeat Dad

You are no man,
you are what we call a deadbeat dad.
You won't take care of your children you had,
You act like you have no past,
that is really very sad.

You move on from state to state,
and from woman to woman,
thinking you are something great.
One day you will come to realize,
that you can not leave your past behind.
The baby that you left me to care for on my own,
has now become fully grown.

He can make his own decisions on his thoughts about you,
he can decide if he wants to meet you, or just be through.
You missed out on all the fun,
because you just had the urge to always run.

You missed his smiles and the way he talked,
you even missed seeing him begin to walk.
You missed his school years, prom, and graduation,
you couldn't even show up for those special occasions.
Birthday's were not something you chose to share,
but that's OK he knew you would not be there.

So when you wake up one day with all your regret,
please don't ever forget,
you are the one that caused all your problems to manifest,
because you forgot about the one thing that would have made you the best,
YOUR CHILDREN!!!
