Darling, don't go looking for a father in every half-decent man you meet.
He walked out, the loser, his loss
What made you think it was your defeat?
Don't go looking for a father in every half-decent man you meet.
No doubt he was one half of your small world
But having two halves hasn't stopped so many from feeling incomplete
No point looking for a father in every half-decent man you meet.
There are many things we all lack, much taken away from everyone
But you gotta know that only you can make yourself complete
It's no use looking for a father in every half-decent man you meet.
I could tell you fatherhood is overrated, but would you believe?
This mother's love is all that you need...
Son, don't go looking for a father in every half-decent man you meet.
He walked out, the loser, his loss

Very beautifully expressed.
ReplyDeletelove this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI lost my mother when I was young. Reading your poem made me realize that I also look for her in every half decent woman I meet. Reading your poetry is like touching a live wire.
