Sitting at the park.
Watching the kids running around playing with their Dads.
Something i thought only happend on T.V.
You said you loved me
I guess ou just loved your baggy more.
All i ever saw was your back.
Your face was like that of a stranger.
And as i sat there as an infant sipping off my bottle,
So did you.
Only mine put me to sleep.
Mommy said yours was a different kind of sleep.
Every morning when you though i was sleeping,
I was really watching your car pull away.
Telling myself
"It's okay. He'll be back in a week.
Neglected and shoved away.
I never even got the chance,
to be Daddy's Little Girl

So sad!
Wow! Is this really how life has been for you? If so, my heart goes out to you! I pray God would bring you to see how much HE loves you, and that HE wants to be the Father that you never had! I grew up pretty much without a Dad myself, so in some ways I can relate, although I thank God, my Dad wasn't a drunkard. And we actually have a fairly decent relationship now! Too bad I can't say that LOOKING BACK! But I've learned that God allows everything for good reason: to show us our need of HIM!
