Best Years of His Life

You know, what hurts,
He said to his son,
Is how much I helped him out
When he came new to be our boss;
So many were against him
And I worked so hard to turn them around.
But then when I wanted to go on my own,
I had every right, you know,
He turned against me,
Just like that. It hurts.

--Gee, Dad,
My son said,
It sounds like you
Gave him the best years of your life;
Maybe you want to call Mom
To tell her that now you know
How she felt when you dumped her.
