Message To My Father - 1. Chapter 1

as i sit here
n read the others poems bout
fathers who left there kids
n if hits me that
you could've done da same
you see when i was bout 3
you left mommy
but u continued to see me
knowing u would have to
deal with ma mother
you were always there beside me
to either scold or console me
through all this you had one reason
of dedication you didnt want me
to grow up without a father
as u did
u were there when i went thru all those surgeries
as i look back i see more clearly now
n i guess that the thought
that u could of up n left
sort of breaks ma heart
you introduced me to new things
i thank u for many things
i remember when u told me
I WAS UR HERO
i wondered y
because u were always
so much bigger than my hero
because u were more like an
ANGEL TO ME
