I Was Abandoned By My Dad
A father's love, a child's need,
Bonds broken in a single deed.
DNA confirms blood's shared seed.

Left alone at just age one,
No father's love, no shining sun.
The child denied. The father's done.

Years pass by with no embrace,
Memories of a father's face.
The child asks why. The father's base.

"I didn't want you then," he said,
"I don't want you now," his truth instead.
The father's love forever dead.
