Regrets – I had none
Happy days – wish I had some
Your fatherless ways
I adopted none
Who am I?
An imitation of my father`s son
You were to me
A father I wish I had
I learnt every word in the dictionary
Except “DAD”
I wanted to love you
But didn`t know how
I was a boy; I wanted to be a man
But didn`t know how
Because there was none
In my life then
And there isn`t one now
I took a journey looking back
While trying to go forward
I was weak
And needed the strength
Of someone I could depend on
I needed a father
I needed someone
Who was a part of me
And understand who I am
I need you
Don`t step back
It`s never too late to be my father

About the Author
Leon Pryce is from the streets of Montego Bay to the world comes a writer who is not afraid to express himself and let you know how he is feeling. Leon Pryce self-published his first poetry book titled Broken Wings as an experiment which turned out to be an astonishing success for a first timer because it out-sold his expectations. That experience has motivated him to wholeheartedly dedicate himself to another book project; a collection which will formally introduce him to the world as a poet with potential and power. A voice which cannot be suppressed, but will echo through the years to come. Immortalized Through Poetry encapsulates the personality of Leon Pryce and will give you the keys to unlocking this eccentric soul. He takes pleasure in offering you the parts of him which he is not ashamed of; that humble, innocent and modest youth who grew up in a small rural community in Jamaica.
