I don't care

Aa Harvey

I Don’t Care.

 

 

Would my father have left, if I was not born?

And would I have become his favorite son?

If he’d let me, if he’d let me.

 

 

Would I have become, the son I became,

If he’d stayed in my life?  And if he had stayed,

Would I still be?  Or would I be?

The same as I am!  Angry at my Dad!

Or would I see, he’s not worth it?

 

 

And I don’t care!  That Daddy wasn’t there.

I don’t care!  How he is now.

And I don’t care!  That Daddy wasn’t there;

Because I have love, from my Mother.

 

 

So rejoice with me, because I speak my mind

And I say what I mean and I’m not angry,

Because I don’t care; no I don’t care.

 


And if you can relate, to the words I say

And you understand, what I’m saying today,

Then it’s ok; yeah it’s ok.

 

 

And I don’t care!  That Daddy wasn’t there.

I don’t care!  How he is now.

And I don’t care!  That Daddy wasn’t there;

Because I have love, from my Mother.

 

 

And I don’t care!  That Daddy wasn’t there.

I don’t care!  How he is now.

And I don’t care!  That Daddy wasn’t there;

Because I have love, from my Mother.

 

 

So I thank you Mom, for the love you gave;

For your warm embrace and your smiling face

And I do care, yeah I do care.

 


Because you were always there!

You never walked away!

You are always there!  If I need you.

I thank you Mom!  For everything you’ve done

And I do care, now and always.

    I do care about your message. And, I am extremely angry when I hear of people who never knew a parent because the Mother or Father left the child soon after birth. I see the person here shaking their fist. Very good poem about a sad subject.

            Hard to understand why some men don't take fatherhood seriously. His loss. Nicely done.
