In these struggling times of single parenthood br Many dads have packed their bags br And gone for good br Abandoning parental responsibilities br Not even sending a birthday or Christmas card br br Leaving a child behind br Of a father they have been deprived br A reality br They have to come to terms with in life br br Depriving a child of a father br Is like robbing a plant of water br A vital element to its whole existence br Can't merely be replaced br With something other br For a child needs both it parents br Input for guidance, love
