Forgotten Poem by Lil Sutton

Like a memory from the past you come back unexpectidly.
Your'e a mystery man,
But i should know you like the back of my hand.

Emotions are running high and strong,
But I am told thet my feelings are wrong.
Too young to recall any happy days.
Too old to gorget the times when you weren't there.
I aways thought you didn't care.

To be a father figure was something you couldn't deliver.
Thats all i needed.
A guide.
Thats all i wanted.
A father figure.

Birthdays forgotten.
Christmas cards were never sent.
Your'e the man im suppose to know best.
Each year I know you less and less.

Precious years have come and gone.
Dissapointmen, happiness,
My childhood and the beginging of adulthood.

Your'e a father for two others.
I often think the three of us are forgotten.
We're just a memory from your past.
A memory that wasn't important enough to last.

To be a father figure was something you couldn't deliver
