Rejection



Ever since I was born
My life gradually turned
When they left me all alone
Can't still fathom what they've shown

Through the years I'm longing for care
Coz' my parents never been there
Not even time that they might share
Caress that cuddles me so dear

I can remember when I was a kid
Envied usually  what other fathers did
Coz' they support what their children need
Always there for them to lead

Sometimes I asked; is this God's affection?
To let me suffer this kind of rejection
Engraved the old susceptible person
Brought to life a new man; endured such situation!

I don't dare to blame God
For all the anguishes that I had
Though I have no more Mom and Dad
But I have the talents to make them proud
