Fatherless

Growing up without a father, i often times think,

How different I am today because of that one broken link.

Of course we make due, you can't miss what you never had,

Still it would have been nice to have that someone to call dad.

Now I watch as history repeats itself with my son and I cry.

There are days tears will fall from his cheeks and he wont say why.

And then in one moment he breaks down to me,

and tells me "Mom I just want my dad, where could he be?"

Being a single mother is no easy task, I never knew it would be this tough,

It's heartbreaking to me just to know that I will never be enough.

Try as I might a child needs both a mom and a dad.

With all my heart, I will be the best parent I can and best friend he's ever had.
