To Dad! Poem by Jaycee Wilkerson

All i wanted was to be like you
But your lack of love made me
Want nothing to do with you

You thought you could buy my love
But you already had it
Money, money, money

Is funny cause all i wanted was you
You would go missing for years
And all i wanted to do was go fishing

All i wanted to do was be like you
But your missing in acting
Destroyed those years

Who gave you the right
To just turn your back
We share the same blood
And the same name

All i wanted was
To be just like you
But your lack of present
Put my heart to shame

You missed 11 birthdays
And the worst day
You missed the only day
That would have made up for

All the other days
All I wanted to do is be like you
But your absence has made
Me want to be nothing like you!
