Every Daughter is her fathers princess, so was I
A Father is like a pillar strength to his daughter
A form of security that keeps her safe physically and emotionally
The man who teaches her to stand up in the world
The one who teaches her the meaning of determination that is required to achieve her dreams
He is the one who gives her the strength to fight
The strength I need today when he is gone
From today is my test to be my father's daughter
To apply everything he taught me in this exam of life
I am scared I may fail, but I know I am father's daughter
His strong daughter Oh Lord Can I ever thank you enough For each day that I spent with my father I could never have been whatever I am today without him Re living each day of my life from childhood to yesterday Each day makes me realize the reason Why they call you our Father Each day makes me realize that a Father Child relation is the closest To your and our relationship They save everything is temporary so am I But some people have the ability to touch our souls Father you are the one Whose memories would be with me till eternity They say the soul is the only thing that is permanent If that is true then your and my relationship could not be temporary it has to eternal I feel so close to you even today when they say you are gone I feel you guiding me, I feel you holding my hand Teaching me to stand up once again
Very well said, very tender subject, and since I have a precious daughter, this meant allot to me as a father of 3 wonderful children. I am glad to see that you are keeping your fathers memory close to you, and that you realized what you had when he was around. I usually will correct punctuation, and also spelling, however, due to the subject matter, what mattered most to me was the content. Well done.
Very nice poem and very well said. My father died when I was 7 years old, so I grew up without one. It was hard and challenging but God brought me through. fathers are very important in a child's life and it is unbalanced with a father. God bless you and thank you for writing.
