My Father, My Hero
Folder:
Family I walked in a world of sorrows
And a light shone in the room.
I could feel your power over hurt
Shimmering in the gloom.
You stood by me, heroic,
Opposing the fulcrum of pain,
Until there remained nothing left
For the grim evil to gain.
When darkness left me frozen
In the evening of my life,
And arrogantly proclaimed I was
No longer his dear wife,
You shouldered my heavy cross
On your great tolerant shoulders.
You endowed me with wisdom learned
By your life and your elders.
And, all the while you carried
My burdens with fatherly pride,
With that patient, sweet lady
Standing so faithful by your side,
Hearing my confused, lonely cries
And drying my anguished tears.
Counselling and worrying for
Over five long healing years.
If ever a daughter was
Appreciative for the presence
Of a father who gave her so
Much Esteem and moral sense,
She would acknowledge this with respect
And put it in a rhyme that
Would say how much she loves
Him to the very end of time.
awesome piece
I enjoyed this writing of your dad a lot because it showed another side of you. I'm glad you love your dad and he's an important person in your life. Not everyone is blessed with this gift as you are and you know it. It shows in how you address thanking him and it's beautiful. God bless you and your dad.
this one made me cry... there is just nothing like when we are afraid or just need that little extra.... no place like the arms of a dad..... I am so glad that I stopped in to read this one.... well done.....
