Fifty-eight and a week or so
Didn't get the gift I sought
To have my sons on Father's day
At church with me, but came to naught
No appears or trace or call
No response from them at all
One daughter there was her hope too
But odds were that they won't come through
But even after still no sign
I thought someone would take the time
To show up and at least get some eats
Partake of all the Fathers' Day treats
Nor after that when we went for brunch
With my daughter seine of son
Who went to spend the day with Dad
Instead a friend with child fills the fun
All afternoon I wait in shade
Thinking of the plans we made
Sat there even after dark
Didn't cruise to bar or park
Almost bed time, waited to eat
Thought maybe some one would bring some treat
Daughter stops to show the grandson off
Well, it was something, still wasn't near enough
