I saw a man the other day
His face was sad and worn
His breath it wreaked of alcohol
His clothes disheveled torn

He stumbled around in a drunken daze
His eyes looked through my bewildered gaze
My heart was heavy he did not see
His long lost child
"Didn't recognise me"!

People laughed
People stared
No one helped him
No one cared
It left me wounded
Feeling sad
They did not know
He was my dad ..........
