Dad, The Sperm Donor
Mother always said this day would come to be
When my father would want to be with me.

He was never around for me to call
Not even to learn to play ball.
Now he is older and wanting to talk
It's so hard not to balk.
Still, I know I should
Try very hard to be good.
It's just too late to alter
These feelings from this daughter.
Forgive me for being such a scorner
Doesn't he know, he was just a sperm donor?

though it was so long ago
When he walked out and left
for reasons I did not know
Though he was
