6-14-09 Father Son Banquet
Scottie Allman © 2009

To kill my love
You kept to yourself
Something so important to me
Time together with my son
A time to share a father’s love.
Sent without me to a place
Where fathers and sons had gathered
Sitting with a father not his own
Did he feel out of place?
Deep within we both know
Why I was kept away
It was to save your point of view
And keep me looking bad
In the eyes of those around you.
You say that you see nothing wrong
With keeping me away
From the father son
Banquet with the church
But if the shoe were on the other foot
You would hurt as much.
Please don’t try to kill my love
By keeping me away
From someone that we both love
Please don’t come between the love,
Of a father and a son.
