Dad
i grew up so empty
Like there was a missing part of
maybe cause i didn't like the crust on my toast
or the butter on my sandwiches
or even that i didn't have many friends

but as i've grown
i've started to learn
if you only have one parent
there's always a half missing
a part underdeveloped
that's going to stay like till the day you die
its like an incurable disease
that spreads to my children
as no one wants their child without a grand dad
without a person to tell them how exactly to make a cup of tea
or all their crazy stories about their childhood
cause a bond with a child and their grand dad
is irreplaceable
so precious
which makes having children a little less sweeter
