A Daddy I Didn't Even Get To Meet
I never even knew you
but deep inside I knew
you were out there waiting
for me to find you...
I never even knew you
but deep inside I knew
you were out there waiting
for me to find you...
This is so sad cause it is just like m, I never knew my dad he left my mom when I was still in her belly an it is so depressing not knowing who he is. This is so touchy to me.

Since I first called you Daddy,
I knew you were my hero,
My sunshine,
My father,
You are the one who held me tight,
Rocked my cradle all through night,
Cuddled me dearly when I was in fright.
Oh Pa, you will always be my shining knight.

Tiny fingers and tiny toes
Tiny little head and a button nose
These are the things that you now miss
On their forehead you used to kiss
What would life be?
Without Your towering presence...
Firm grip on my arms that makes me powerful,
Thunderous voice with currents of care,...
I remember the times
You'd flip me onto your shoulder
Freefalling skyward
Taller, older
This poem so reminds me of the relationship my Daddy and I had. He had a major surgery in 1971 and because of that and the effects of the anesthesia, his decline began. It took a while for us...

Old hands and tired feet,
Sometimes all I want is sleep.
I don't have a dime,
But after all this time,
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
Socks glide across the kitchen floor,
Arms spin me around once more.
Best time I ever had,
Was dancing with my Dad.
My father is a man of his word
A man interested in your word
A man of many words
