A real father


blood doesn't make you family,

love does,

love is a not a feeling but a bond

real fathers don't drink their life away

their going to take your kids away.

not an evil step father,

a real father who attends your school events, your life

tuck you in at the end of the night,

however not on your birth certificate.

real fathers don't drink their life away.
