Letter One: A Father's Regret:

CATEGORY

Views: 369

 Dear son,

I can't begin to explain how many years

you'ved carried so much pain,

I can't say that I understand, 

I was busy living life in the fast lane.....

I understand if you have hate for me,

I have no one else to blame but myself....

I'm pretty sure you'd agree, you dont blame no one else.

I should have been there as,

Your father, your protector, your friend,

But I was scared to step up to the plate,

scared to be a man.

I know that's not an excuse, your mom

raised you and your brothers,

she did things I was scared to,

depending on very few.

I'm sure you have so many questions that need's answers,

which you have every right to want answers,

"Why didn't I stand up as a man"? "Why didn't I live up to a real man's standards"?

I'm just going to be honest...and tell you I didn't care to put in the effort....

I've missed so much of your life,

causing you many disappointments, mixed emotions

filled with strife,

making it hard to deal with life.

I can't take it back, or change things that happend in the past,

But I'm here now trying to fix our past,

I'm begging you for forgiveness thats all I can ask.

You don't have to answer right now, I know you see me as a loser,

a man with no heart, a man that couldn't play his part,

but I'm crying out to you for a new start.

Love always:  A Regreful Dad.

 

(Inspired by, a close friend and a conversation that took place with his father

Thanks for permission to write on your behalf...Love you!)
