Present or absent, we can't say, all we knew was we had a Dad. He was here and there trying to make a living, ensuring all finances were taken care of.
My 3rd birthday was the first time he ever complimented me
with a smile.
The second and the last time was when he handed over my hand
in marriage.
You ensured we were okay, but there was always a void Mama's
love couldn't fill regardless of how hard she tried.
My Uncle, Brothers, and Male friends couldn't fill the void
because our First Love was Missing.
We longed for something more than what you provide,
something more than the Shelter, something money couldn't buy.
We longed for a FATHER'S PRESENCE; we wanted a FATHER'S
LOVE.
Fathers, more than what you Provide: Your Presence matters,
your Love matters, and your Compliment matters.
Don't be a stranger to your children.
