A Man Called Dad! ! ! Poem by WENDY KAY TADDAY

There was this man I knew everyone said he was my dad
A dad is supposed to love you and be there for you
That I did not have
You were never there for me, and I know you never
Really cared for me
I don't know what it was like to be able to hold my daddy so tight
Or for you to tuck me in bed and say I Love You every night
I love when I got to spend time with you, but that seemed to be the one thing you didn't ever want to do
I know there were times you acted like you loved me
But that was just so I would give you money
You had six kids but you only kept four
My grandparents took my sister and I
We were such a burden to you so you just took the easy way out and said Goodbye..
When I was in high school, I met the one I love
It was my loving Grandparents who were the first
I told 'He Asked Me To Be His Wife'.
I have two kids of my own now and I watch my husband with them
And I see what a real dad does for his kids
Well that is something you never did
Then you got sick and your life came to an end
While at your funeral I was treated not like a daughter but
Just another one of your low life friends
I never thought of you as a dad, but just another guy I knew
I love my Grandpa dearly because he was my dad
He was there to fill your shoes...
