Dear Dad Poem by LUZAAN de Bruyn

AT NIGHT WHEN I LOOK AT THE MOON,
I KNOW YOU LOOK AT IT TO
THEN I WISH I COULD SEE YOU SOON.
WE ARE VERY FAR APART
BUT YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE MY HEART
WHEN I WAS BORN YOU WERENT THERE
ALTHOUGH MOTHER NEEDED YOUR CARE
YOU WERE YOUNG I KNOW
BUT WHY DID YOU LEAVE US?
YOU TOLD PEOPLE YOU WILL STAY WITH MOTHER
BUT WHEN SHE TOLD YOU SHE'S PREGNANT
YOU DIDNT EVEN BOTHER
THEN MOTHER REMARRIED
AND SOON ANOTHER BABY SHE CARRIED.
MY NEW FATHER LOVED ME
AND LOOKED AFTER ME LIKE I WAS HIS OWN
NEVER WOULD HE LEAVE US ALONE
IM NOT MAD DAD
IM JUST REALLY SAD
BECAUSE A STRANGER COULD CARE FOR ME
BUT YOU, I DIDNT EVER HEAR FROM OR SEE
HOW COULD THAT BE? ?
REMEMBER ALTHOUGH WE ARE APART
DAD, YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE MY HEART! ! ! !
