Silent, Strong Dad
Picture
He never looks for praises.
He's never one to boast.
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most.
Father's Day is not as respected and popularly observed as Mother's Day. There is a simple reason for this. Although almost everyone has difficult issues with their mothers, there is no doubt as to their mother's love. The same is not true for fathers. Because men have a more difficult time expressing their feelings to their children, many children go through life with the mistaken notion that their fathers don't love them. This is a tragedy because fathers generally love their children dearly and often work long hours so that they can raise their children in comfort.

If I could write a story,
It would be the greatest ever told.
I'd write about my daddy,
For he had a heart of gold.
I lost my dad on 09 October 2018, and unfortunately, he was just 43 and I was in class nine. It is really heart-breaking to live without someone who was present in all your heartbeats and...
Every morning I wake up and see
The most handsome man lying next to me.
He's the one I cherish and love,
A blessing sent from Heaven above.
Married thirty seven years, and it still feels like yesterday. Communication is the road to success. Best wishes to all. Belfast xxx

I know this man
Who is dear to my heart.
Suddenly one day
It was torn all apart.
When I lost my dad to suicide, I read this poem to my family. I then decided that I wanted to share this with our close family at his service. Any day when I really miss him and when it's...

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,...
I love you and I miss you, Dad,
and though you've passed away,
you'll never be forgotten,
for I think of you each day.

What makes a man a hero?
I've often thought this through.
It's someone who is macho?
It's someone who is true?
When I was a baby,
you would hold me in your arms.
I felt the love and tenderness,
keeping me safe from harm.
I don't know how it feels, but I sure understand what this poem is all about. How I wish my dad was caring. To me, he only carries the title and doesn't act the meaning.
Three months have passed.
I'll never forget the day
Someone rang to tell me
That you'd gone away.
About two months ago I lost my father. I cannot say that it was unexpected, yet now I realize that there is nothing in life that can prepare us to bear this void. He remained in the intensive...
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.
