I remember when I was a kid
I remember as a family all the things we did
I remember the arguments between my father and mother
I remember the cries from my sister and brothers
I remember when I turned 7 my dad walked out
I remember wondering what it was all about
………….. I remember…
I remember my father came a few time on his court appointed visits
And sadly I remember that that was it
I remember the calls when he said he coming to get me
I remember waiting all day and it was he I would never see
I remember time and time again he would break his word
I remember when he would just pop up and his speech was slurred
…………… I remember…
I remember the heartache and felling of be left alone
I still have these feeling even though I’m grown
I remember receiving awards in school and no one was there
I remember feeling that no one cared
I remember almost forgetting that I had a father
I remember clinging to any man would even bother
……………. I remember…
But I forgive and I learned to let go
It has to be a dam good excuse for me not to show
I had to find a way to reach my father on his level
I put it in God hands, leaving no power for the devil
I want my children to remember the good times that we have
The times when we spent the whole day and all we did is laugh
I want them to remember the lesson to help them be better people
And to break the barriers that says their color makes them unequal
I want them to remember that I’m a father that cares
I want them to know I’m a father that is here.
