Estranged From The Start
4 June, 2008

Too selfish to bond with your newborn,
Too big for cuddles aged only three,
Too big for your affection again at three,
Boys don’t cry now only four,
Why did you abandon each new son she gave?
Why did you abandon our mother who gave nothing but love?
Affair after affair you slept with them all,
Did you practice safe sex or lucky that’s all,
With two and a half marriages you still did not learn,
Women are things for you use,
Like sons just possessions you expect to behave,
Now old and alone no sons to care,
They draw on each other for the family bond,
All grown and married with families that care,
Nieces and nephews we are a proud three,
Not needing you around as you were never there,
Coz in truth you’re still not there or even care.

Awe so good,yet so sad

Letting your emotions show is not just for girls,
more boys and men should show their true feelings. Women would love that lol

precious from the start...

is a child a gift that we are to protect and nurture...sad for any child to go through this , as they say, Anyone can become a Father... but it takes a special person to be a Dad. when a child goes thru you would be surprised how many stop the repetitive cycle by becoming the Father to their children ...they wished they had..
Clive, because of this you are a stronger person, a child whom grew up before his time..my heart goes out to you..
