I am a fatherless father
I grew up not knowing my dad
I grew up without father-son memories
I didn't have experiences
I should have had
When my son looks back on his childhood
I want my son to look back and say
I didn't have everything
I didn't always get my way
I can say this when I reminisce
I know my dad did his best
my dad was by my side everyday
I wrote this to acknowledge others
We're a worldwide group of strangers
We're as close as estranged brothers
We have a similar story of hearts still hurting
because we can say in unison
I was a boy, now I have a son
I am a fatherless father
I grew up not knowing my dad
I grew up without father-son memories
I didn't have experiences
I should have had
