"FATHER....."

"Jim, I know you'll love this!"
"A gift for our only Jim!"
Why does it have to be always about him?
I am also his child, not only Jim.

He bought him a lot of toys
From cars to soldiers---anything for his boy
He'll give in on his every favor
And he's got every moment to savor.

Yes, he was loved the most
To have a bit, how much would it cost?
To be loved as his daughter is all Im pleading
But, I'd certainly die from from trying.

Mom asked to talk to me then
Strange, it felt like i am to be scolded
With teary eyes and pain in her heart
She confessed the truth of her past.

"You're confused...truth will make things better--
Sweetie, the man I married is not your father
Don't treat him like a foe
Your father needed to go."

Now, everything's crystal clear...
Why I never felt Father's love all those years
Why he only has a son---Jim.
Why I will never have everything...
