I experienced something new and strange today.
The hurt and incredible pain of a father.
A father who loves his children unconditionally,
each for who they are in their own way.
Never judging them or expecting them
to to be someone they are not.
Each of whom has an incredible selfishness about them.
Each who will never understand
the pain their father carries in his heart,
along with the love for them.
A pain that is killing his soul.
A pain brought about by their own misguided self centered behavior.
If they could even stop for one moment of their lives
and see and feel his love.
Truly feel his love for them.
Would they feel any guilt or remorse?
Or would they just continue in their same self centered,
self destructive ways?
What a shame for them and the love they are missing.
What a shame that by the time they realise it,
it maybe to late for them.
Than they will carry that burden of remorse
for the rest of their lives.My sons father was never there for him and some day he will feel the regret. I wrote this for a father I know who has alway been there for his children and they do not appreciate it. There are many father who don't care, but this is for the ones who do. We all thank you and may you always feel the love of your children. Ruth BabyGirlTmpl619

Thankfully I was given a second chance with mine, I was kicked out of my house, bike accident, hospital, and am back again. I thank God that my parents have been there for me.

An oath of God

I could be angry because of many things
a kidney stone, laying on the ground
you could care less.
I could be pissed at my hair coming out in clumps
and you stating
hair always comes out in the shower
i could be pissed at you not wanting to come to the hospital
too much of a burden for you?
I could be pissed of your neglect
I could be pissed because you kicked me in the vagina
i could be pissed because you took pictures of me in the bathtub at age ten
i could be pissed because you flirted with me
i could be pissed because people don't know the whole story
and they think you were just trying to do whats best for me
I could be pissed for you going behind my back
I could be pissed for much much much much much more
but i can also admit my wrongs and what i've done
i can admit to smashing the dishes
i can admit to saying i hate you and cursing at you and saying i wish you were dead
it was also you who wanted me dead
i walked around the house exclaiming i wanted to die and your response was, what do you want me to do about it, go ahead and do it.
I can admit to kicking the dog, i was very drugged up yet i will still take responsiblity
i can admit to many things
yet it was YOU who said, you don't have to apologize to us you did nothing wrong, so if thats the case then whats the point of any of this crap?
I can admit yet you can't apologize because of pride.
I take an oath under God that everything i've said is true.
If im trash and a heathen then so are all of you.
