By-Ferica Sari
It was a hit and run he said,
But my father didn't intend to.
He worked hard for me he said,
But now there's nothing I can do
My father surrendered himself
He was locked up in a jail.
I, now a young boy knows
What loneliness actually is.
I missed him, now that he is away
My friends came by to cheer me up
I'm sorry, I'm lonely
Without daddy by my side
The moon only makes me think of him
As that was his name,
I'm sure daddy is thinking of me
And loneliness adds fuel to the flame.
Now, my mother does not follow her face
She smiles and laugh for me
But I know of the loneliness
She has everyday
Mom Dad
The loneliness you carry
Left a deep wound in my heart.
