Father Of Mine

61

By Ladybird33

Fathers, Dads, Papa's...for you!

I wrote this poem for all the fathers out there that are the best of dads! You know who you are and how good you take care of your children. All the fathers in the past, present and future, this is your tribute, thank you for all that you have done for us children!

Poem for All Fathers!

The love is shining in your eyes

You are so proud, you are so proud

I see the first opportunity to reach for the skies

I want to scream and shout so loud

 

For all the years we have worked so hard

It came from afar

Life within will now change

We are moving into the fast lane

 

I couldn’t have done it without you

The man that taught me all that I knew

The man that made me who I am today

The man that first heard my coo

The man that loved me so much he never knew

 

I tried so hard to be just like him

To grow large and tall

To be smart, to excel, to be all that I could be

He was the key that made me

 

I am the man today

Because of his love and play

He will miss me I know

But I only hope one day

That I will be a great dad

Because that is what I had

 

I love you more and more

And I pray to the Lord

Let me be like my dad

He gave it all to me

I am the lad he wanted me to be

my dad was my best friend - he wrote over 70 novels and fought in WORLD WAR II.

In reference here to your title - you made me - well you made me a better reader with your hallowed hubs!

Very teasing hub title, "You Made Me". I was expecting a different topic like you must have been a hub winner. Well, you really made me and brought back happy memories of my loving father. Loved this!

Ladybird33. Hi. What an absolutely beautiful tribute to your Father, as well as other folks Fathers.

He must be so very proud of you, as you obviously are of him. He does sound like a beautiful man.

Thanks for sharing him and your love for him with us. :) :)
