21. My Father, My Friend
For my father, my friend,
This to me you have always been.
Through the good times and the bad,
Your understanding I have had.
For my father, my friend,
This to me you have always been.
Through the good times and the bad,
Your understanding I have had.
I love this poem. My papa is the masterpiece of God as my father. I have seen him in pain when I was suffering, and he had suffered much more than me to get me out. In those horrible days,...

To my dear family,
I'm sending this from above,
That even though I'm gone from earth,
I can still feel your love,

The depth of a father's love shows in his daughter's eyes.
What's known is what's shown from sunset to sunrise.
A foundation built on more than just what is spoken.
It's commitments kept and promises that go unbroken.
me and my dad are going through some tough times right now. He is not someone who easily forgives even if it's something small. I'm a teenager and it's just me and him. I tell him everyday...
The bond between father and daughter happens instantly, starting right at birth.
When a father first lays eyes on his little girl, he loves her more than anything on this earth.
When a daughter grows older, her father is the first man she will love
And the last one her father will have trouble letting go of.
My daughter recently lost her father. In a conversation with her, she was saying how sad it was that she had only received one card or written form of a message. Everyone had sent text...
You held me up when I was weak.
You hugged me close when tears I'd weep.
When things got hard, you pushed me through.
You always showed me you loved me true.
My dad passed away 2 months ago and I can not forget and my mom and I are sad. I know that he is not in any more pain in heaven.
My daddy looks tough as nails
And hard as metal.
But the truth is easy to tell
He's sweet and loving
I love my Daddy so much. He was my best friend. I love him so much. I still cry. I won't get another best friend. It hurts too much. I try to be the best person I can be and would help anyone...
Dad everyday must be a celebration in your
Beautiful Heavenly Home
But it seems today is not the same,
For your children here below,
Thank you so much for your comment and encouragement
Judy
Muddy boots and overalls, he stood about six two
He was a country bumpkin; hard work was what he knew
A carpenter, a roofer, a jack of many trades
Countless hours of hard labor with not much time to play
I remember my dad waking me up at 4 o'clock.
Barely getting up with my eyes half shut,
Getting ready and packing up dad's truck,
Hoping to catch some fish down at the dock.
In your eyes, I see grace,
Full of love and encased
With a hope that burns bright in the dark.
Through your love, I know God.
My dad has always been there for me at times when I think I can't keep going, but he never stops telling me that I can accomplish anything in my life.
Daddy, can you hear me up there in heaven,
Way up high?
Are you an angel? Do you have wings?
And can you really fly?
Very touching poem. This brought tears to my eyes. We have to believe that Love can transcend death and our loved ones are right there with us in just a different way, but it's so hard to...
Sometimes life throws us curve balls,
And nothing he does is fair.
We know we have a lot of differences,
But with a dad's love, who cares?
This poem made me tear up just from reading it. It's so relatable and definitely made me appreciate my father much more. I love you dad!
It seems like only yesterday
With a teardrop in my eye
That you were born into this world
With a whimper and a cry
To my baby girl, Larissa Coleman. No matter where you are, remember to hold your heart 'cause mom is with you.
I can remember the first time that I
saw your smiling face,
I held you close to my heart, you could
probably hear it race.
Wow!!!!!! A beautiful poem :D I love it, it's so touching
Photographs of you holding me in your arms,
You protected me from any kind of harm,
You influenced me to play guitar,
I was always your number one rock star.

I wish my dad understood what he has put me through. He treats me like this every 3 month and in the 4th month he want to see me and make sure I am ok. But I'm not telling him how I'm really...
The day will come when it's time to go,
but first there are a few things I would like you to know.
You're the strongest man I ever knew,
and the one I've always looked up to.
Not many people can say
they have a true friend
Someone that stands by your side
and shows devotion with no end
I sit and look back to how far I can remember,
And you are always there next to me.
Each and every day you were helping me grow up,
And making me be the best that I can be.
I really loved this poem. It's very touching and helpful because my dad's not here, but he is always in my heart. It helps me when he's gone.
My hero never fought in a war
He never drove a big fancy car
He did not go very far in school
But he lived his life by the golden rule
This is so well worded. It reminds me exactly of my own upbringing and father. I am one of seven children raised during the depression. Dad was a carpenter and when building ceased, he and...
Feeling lost without him
Feeling empty too
I used to be my daddy's girl
This I know was true.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your story really touched my heart today. I am separated from my daughter now and I am sad everyday. She is 17 and I send her cards and letters. But I wish I could...
