A poem I wrote for my dad

[Phoenix92885]

After my dad passed away I had trouble sleeping at night. So I did the only thing I knew to do. I wrote. This isn't the best thing I have ever written and until he passed away I had stopped writing for a while but it seems like a good time to start again. Tell me what you think!

[FONT=&quot]DEAR DADDY,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It's hard to comprehend[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]What has taken place[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But all I want in the end[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Is to see your smiling face[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I am sad that you are gone[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But I have promises for you [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Please continue reading on[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For a message from Sarahboo[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]When college is finally done[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I will have you on my mind[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Looking into the sun[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hoping it's you I find[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In the isle, without you to escort my way[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]To marry my second favorite man[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It will be my most special day[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Although bittersweet without my number one fan[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The day that I hold my first child[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I will wish I could pass them to you[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I'll just remember all the times you smiled[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And make sure all my baby's wishes come true[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I promise to make you proud[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And be all I can be[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You just watch from your cloud [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You will be proud of me[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You are my daddy forever[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I will always think of you[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Our tie no one can sever[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Love, from your Sarahboo[/FONT]

My Dad

My Dad is retired Cleargymen
hes always strong in the faith
his mantle is covered with trophys
that speak of a life lived with Grace
Whenever i'm blue I turn to you
your faith makes me strong and i'm righted from wrong
I have Grace in my life because of your knife
you seperate grain from the chaff
I thank you for showing me Grace
I'm not under the law, Grace I saw
Thank you dear father
I'm stronger now.​

There ya go Phoenix hope this helps you some. May God bless your future poems.

P.S. please comment on my new poem its about a early morning kiss in the garden.

It sheds light on my heart to hear that your father is still alive at the wise age of 80! I'm sure he is soooo full of stories. Did you perhaps get your creative writing gene from him? I got mine from my own father. He was 39 when he passed. A short life but he lived a full one. I will surf around for more poems that you have written Greatcloud, thank you for taking the time to write to me.
