Measure of a Father
Actions speak louder than words.
Now, let's see,
Are you my Father today?
Your actions are showing Me differently.
Everday should be Father's Day,
and not just in the Child Support way.
How can you say you're my Father today?
Yet Mom has to constantly make you pay.
Why must you be Obligated?
Instead just be Dedicated.
God gave you "Me" to nurture me,
(Insert Child/Children Name).
You encourage me to feel this way,
When you don't take time to call,
Just to say, "How are you doing today?"
Excuses are your number one game plan.
You're always on the go,
Why (Insert Father Name), or should I say "Man,"
Don't you have time for me anymore?
You say, "You're busy all the time,"
How can that possibly be?
Please Father, or should I say (Insert Father Name),
Just don't LIE to me!!!
You need to get your Priorities straight,
I'm growing up so fast,
I don't want it to be too late,
Too much time has already passed!
You're letting other's dictate your Life,
How can she be more important than me?
She's not even your Wife.
You're taking care of another Family,
How can that be? What about "Me?"
Truly, am I not Important, to fit in your Lifetime Plan?
I don't want to know you,
As just another MAN!!!!
Measure of a Father,
Is the way he takes care of his child.....
