daddy

poem by: Virgil Brown
Written on Apr 04, 2015

Daddy were awesome
You were there when I
Was all alone
You showed me love
Not a glance
Or taste 
And you showed me not
To waste but
To honor and obey 
Live holy fast and pray
You gave me courage
to hold on

And not beat myself up
Because I messed up
another day is
Above the horizon 
When I talk he answers
When I meet with 
My maker
He assures me all 
Is well 

And I haven't forgot
 about you
He keeps me safely
In his arms

And wraps them around me
Daddy I can call you 
Anytime of day or night
My love for you
Let's me know it's alright

Im going to higher heights
Your my first love
At one time I put you
On the back burner
And my face hit the ground
Realizing I need you
I need on the mountain
And beyond

Daddy

Hi sorry for the intrude just read your poem,I found the lines to short. Felt like they needed to be a bit longer, or sorry it might be the way I read it.
