Dad

by Kia   Jan 14, 2005


I didn't know him for 15 years
Then one day in my life, he appears
With him came a tissue for my tears
And a stronghold against all my fears

Most children grow up knowing their dad
I was a teen before we met, but I'm still glad
There's nothing i would change, nothing bad
He's great, makes me laugh and smile when I'm sad

There's nothing in the world he wouldn't do
No situation he wouldn't help me through
If you mess with me, man I take pity on you
You'd wish you hadn't been born and me you never knew

No matter what i know he will always be there
If I have a broken heart, he will always repair
I know no matter what i do, he will always care
The only thing I hate is lost time, that's not fair

Unpreventable circumstances kept us apart
The fault was no one's; just life's part
But now we've been given a new start
An empty space has been filled in my heart

Now we are makin' up for lost time
Things are great; not jus fine
My dad is different; one of a kind
No one has a dad better than mine.

    It seemed as though the rhyme was just a bit forced as you changed the words around just to have the rhyming word at the end. It did flow nicely and was very heartfelt and filled with emotion...

    So nice to see your story has a happy ending!! ;)

    Oh this was beautiful I love my Daddy too soooo much! The story in this poem was amazing and full of such strong emotions which I think you commicated really well. It brought a tear of happiness to my eyes - really sweet! I would just advice you don't use slang like were you wrote MAKIN' should be spelt correctly as MAKING you know people will take your writing more seriously. Personally I dont mind it at all but there are a few people who will pull you up on it :o)
