MADE A GOOD DAD

Contributed by LEMMEN on Wednesday, 10th November 2004 @ 11:31:36 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Children I shall never have.
Painful laden is my heart.

Dreams of a family life torn
apart.
Never knowing the true joy
of one's flesh.
Never having a child this
pain is great.

Sometime to much to bare.
Man should have the right.

God has taken mine from
birth strip me of the seed
of life.
Never shall I know what kind
of dad I might have been.

Rage, Anger, Some of the
emotions.
Am I a true man without
a child to bare my name.

Boy or girl either would
please me.
But it's only a dream.

The nightmare of life.

It hurt's.

The pain is great.

I really think I would have
made a Great Dad.

why can't you be a dad to someone who would make a good child that needs a father? thousands are crying out who need a father. Or must the child look and sound like you and have your genetic marker?

Hey Lemmen, I totally feel for you. I was told I would never be able to have a kid and look at me now, I have a three month old. But my parents were also not able to have children. They waited 7 years on an adoption list to adopt me. I am so grateful to them. I have such wonderful loving parents you wouldn't even know. And I completed them. Like everyone said, thre are millions of children who need people like you, who would love and cherish them. Maybe you cannot have kids for that very reason. Maybe fate has something instore for you better then you could have even imagined. Good peice, very sad.

Adoption is such a good thing. Not just babies, but older children too. They are the ones that need love and acceptance so badly. An adopted child is so special because they were chosen by the adoptive parent, not just conceived. Consider that or Big Brothers/Big Sisters to children that need a moral boost and some self esteem also.
