Bad Parents

I am a single parent of a child Unto who I never ignored or went wild, When I wasn't working it was always him and me He was my life and my destiny. Him and I were always a team He and I shared the same adventures and dream, Him and I had and many exciting journeys together Which neither one of us wanted to ever sever. While he was a teen I made him a vow What I would and wouldn't do or ever allow, Number one promise was I wouldn't date That was my promised fate. My son was growing to being a man I steered him the best that I could and can, Number one in his memories I immersed A parent's child must always come first. While he was living with me I never dated Plans and adventures with my child was first always slated, Whenever he needed me emotionally I was there He was then and is now my number one care. Friday night instead of me going to a club or a bar My son and I instead went for drives in my car, Instead of me looking about to pick up women on a Saturday night We instead picked up his friends for movies and games delight. Having a child is knowing how easy it is to love They are angels truly sent by God above, I was never and could never be a dead beat dad Which made my soul and my son so very happy and glad. Sadly, some mothers are like a deadbeat father Who sees their children as a weight and a bother, And whenever I see them and their children they ignore That makes me hate bad parents even that much more.
