Happy daddys day

by lexie   Jun 19, 2006


Kids and cards,
presents and smiles,
except one thing is missing,
and daddy thats you,
your not here,
like you should be,
why'd you have to go and mess up,
why didnt you just put that bottle down,
why'd you hurt her,
couldnt you just get better,
instead of leaving,
far,far away,
i wish you were here,
so i could hug you,
and tell you i forgive you,
i'll never forget what you did,
but daddy maybe,
for this one day,
we could put it all aside,
and i'd say i love you,
we'd laugh and smile,
over silly fathers day cards,
and we'd dance together,
you'd be sober,
and i'd be the happiest girl,
if for one day,
you truly loved me.

    Fifth line "your" should be "you're".

    Apostrophes again, like "didnt" should be "didn't".

    I like how this is an atypical Father's Day poem. It's not gushing with "OMG YOU'RE THE BEST DAD EVER" but it's realistic. I had difficulty writing one for my father (and in the end, didn't) because it would have been, like yours, atypical. You did a great job, I think.
