Why do you drink your life away
stop and stay with me
be the Grandfather to my children
not just a grave stone
or the man in the picture

I need you in my life dear Father
please come back
bring back my Father
the onewho's not always drunk
who phones me crying about his life

Without alchohal
I would still have a Father
who lives in the same house as me
and I would have had the Father I wanted
the Father I should of had as a child
a father to protect me from everyone who would hurt me
a father to show me that not all men can hurt me
a father to be there for me

Your not that father
boose is my father
and is slowly taking him away from me

Day by day
he dies a little
how can you sit there
and leave me the way you are

Don't leave me alone in the world
I need you to hold my hand
hug me when I need comfort

I need parents
not just a parent

Don't leave me father
I love you too much

A heartfelt plee for a father to be there, and be a father, a loving parent.
Nice poem.  Unfortuantely sad reality for many children.
