Hello father been a long a time, figured I dropp by with a little rhyme
The boy you left behind was only three, now in the mirror man staring back at me
Instead of family life you wanted another beer, your other two boys are more like you year after year
I was on my own and did it smart, mind confused at times but always listened to my heart
Sure you made a call once or twice, spending time with your youngest would of been nice
Towards you I hold no grudges, it's society that are your judges
You taught me something without teaching me a thing, one day to be a father who'll keep his finger in the ring
You've been gone for oh so long, I stood here staying oh so strong
You're six feet under, not knowing me was your blunder
Look down or up at me, I am everything that I should be
Have the love for a dad, found it in others that is sad
I forgive you for your fault, thank you for the lessons that were never taught
No bitterness, anger, madness, or tears in me...it is what it is, as it was meant to be
Even if my seeds do not hatch on this land, I can still be a role model, father figure to the little man
After all this time and even now on this day, Happy Father's Day is all I can and ever will say
