Not to know a Father's smile 

Not to know the man 

Never to have been worth his while 

Never in his plan 

To only know of conversation 

help just circumstantial 

Hear a voice full of frustration

Problems all financial 

Appreciate what has been offered 

Aid to fill the bank 

Forget the hurt all have suffered 

Does that reveal his rank? 

Not to know your own heart 

Where your Father’s placed 

After such a unforgiving start

Which still leaves a bitter taste
