a love denied
a love denied to my children:
for them could of been a friend:
my best friend was my dear dad:
with him gone i still feel sad:
but my children were denied the true love he had in his heart:
he would of held them so close right from the start:
my children never had no one to call grandpa too:
as i think of my life it makes me feel blue:
i never knew my grandpa on my dads side:'
when my dad was only 12 his dad died:
i know that my dad must of felt so down and low;
to be delt with such a deafening blow:
but my dad stood tall and he had to grow up so fast:
he had to be so hard or he would'nt of last:
he dropped out of school and he learned how to farm:
to his mother he protected her from harm:
he was a hard working man when he was a boy:
dad never even had a new toy:
he got up so early to work everyday:
he had to work so hard so all the bills he could pay:
dad was just 12 when he worked like a man:
with pride my dad he would always stand:
dad died so young like his father before him too:
in my life without my dad i'll always feel blue:
his love denied to my children today:
but in heaven i feel him guiding our way:
