Bothered

by Sean Dohr   May 13, 2006


I'm bothered by the fact,
that you treasure my mom.
I'm the one who does right,
when she does everything wrong.

I don't quite understand,
where it is I stand with you.
Or what it is I have to do,
to make you love me too.

She's done nothing with her life,
and caused you only grief,
yet you enable her and baby her,
like the ground catches a leaf.

What exactly did she do,
that was so special in the past?
What exactly did you feel,
that made your love last?

Just tell me grandpa, please,
why it is you love her so.
I promise if you tell me,
I will never let her know.

~No matter how many times I ask, he never tells me...~

    Wow..this was an amazing poem. And I loved it. I guess the answer to your question can only be a fathers love for his daughter. Only the ones who have children of theire own will understand this unconditional love. Once I had my little babygirl I realized that my life would never be the same, and no matter what that little creature did in her lifetime, nothing would ever make me love her any less. That`s what parents are here for. Great job with this poem. Keep it up ;)

    Awww. It was sweet. The fact that it was based off of something real makes it that much better. Keep up the good work.

    Wonderful job. It reminds me of the saying, "Daddy's little girl"

    Everything seemed alright as if you were talking to him without it coming off as a complete narrative.
