Hi, I recently wrote some poems while feeling down.
I have never tried to write before.
I hope you like them and I would appreciate any views.
Thanks.
I AM YOURS TO KEEP
You are a princess in my heart,
and I care for you so much.
I love the fondness in you eyes and your tender little touch.
I looked at you when you were born,
and knew then straight away,
that I would be fore ever here
to watch you grow and play.
You bring to me a heart of joy,
and memories so great,
and a powerful sense of fatherhood that no one can debate.
I watch you sleep and dream of things that I can only wonder.
That innocent look upon your face just makes my heart grow fonder.
I see you run and jump and shout and calling out my name.
No love that I have ever known could ever feel the same.
No suffering or tragedy nor deeply seated pain
could ever over shadow the bond that we retain.
And so my little princess before you go to sleep,
Remember I am your daddy and I am your's to keep.
EMPTY SPACES
I sit alone here every day,
Thinking of the child you took away.
She was my heart she was my soul.
She was the thing that made me whole.
I have no hope I have no faith, I have no energy,
She was the only pride and joy that rose inside of me,
And now theres just an empty space where laughter used to dwell.
My heart has got no purpose now, it’s just an empty shell.
As I look at children play, in parks and on the beach,
I think about my biggest loss, the child I cannot reach.
Sometimes I wonder what she thinks when her mind remembers me.
Does she think about the dad she lost, the dad she never sees.
My days are filled with anger, my nights with painful grief.
How I face each day without her is way beyond belief.
Her toys are strewn about the floor , her bed is empty now.
Abandoned like the autumn leaves shaken from the bough.
Theres nothing left for me to have but distant memories,
Of the times we had when she was young and full of energy.
I hear her voice inside my head calling out to me.
And when I close my eyes to sleep, her face is all I see.
But deep within the darkness that lives inside of me,
There is a tiny glimmer, a spark that’s hard to see.
That spark is just a remnant, of the love that is inside
The love which cannot disappear, the love I cannot hide.
THE TERRORIST
You say I am a terrorist and
that I broke your heart.
You said I never cared for you and that’s why
we're apart.
But you know deep in your soul my dear that I did my very best.
Yet now you try to ruin my life
with the lies you manifest
.
To stoop so low as you have done
just goes beyond belief,
to steal my child away from me just like a lowly thief.
You say I am no good for her,
but you know that is a lie.
And I will be around for her
until the day I die.
You break my mind and break my soul
but eventually you will see,
that a fool like you can never break the bond she has with me.
You may say I am a terrorist
but our daughter she will know,
the evil things that you have done
to stop me watch her grow.
And when it's time to face your god on bended knees I’m sure,
He'll remind you of the terrorist whose heart is good and pure.
REMEMBER FATHERS DAY
As I sit here all alone,
thinking about my little one.
I wonder if she knows about,
the things I think and say aloud.
My heart is aching my head is sore,
will I get to see her any more.
Fathers day has come and gone
No card no hug no telephone.
The feelings that run deep and wide,
the sorrow that I cannot hide.
So mothers please I want to say,
don't forget about fathers day.
MY DAUGHTER
I have a little daughter,
who means the world to me
She's living with her mother
and is as special as can be
And even though she's not here,
calling me out loud,
She's still my precious daughter
and I am so very proud.
Her picture takes pride of place
on my living room wall
Ready to be admired,
by all who come to call.
I know I can not hold her,
or bounce her on my knee
But only have to close my eyes,
her little face to see
I never will stop missing her
and wishing she were here.
But sometimes I feel, indeed
I know that she is very near.
So play happily little daughter,
you will never be forgot
I love you so and always will,
though I miss you such a lot.
THE DAD THAT IS IN ME
I tried to be a father so caring and so strong,
But everything I did was said to be so wrong.
I tried to be supportive, and be there all along,
But you were determined to make sure I was gone.
You took away from me the only chance I had,
To be a shoulder to cry on,
a loving caring dad.
I would have liked to see her grow,
And love her every day.
But you preferred to stoop so low and
Steal my child away.
You took away my daughter she was all that I had,
And she grew up thinking that she never had a dad
I cannot forgive you but one day she will see.
The person that you turned away,
the dad that is in me.
MY HALFRICAN PRINCESS
My halfrican princess I am thinking of you
When I look up at the sky so blue.
When I see the stars in the heavens at night,
They remind me of your eyes so bright.
As I look at the sea and the crashing waves
I hear your voice calling out my name.
When I look at the sand and the colour within
I think of your beautiful golden skin.
When I look at the kelp strewn here and there.
It reminds me of your flowing hair.
As I look at the rocks and the cliffs beyond,
They remind me of our powerful bond.
As I stroll around this wondrous place,
I think about your beautiful face.
And the days we will spend walking hand in hand.
Along this vast expanse of sand
And I look forward to standing here in the water,
With you Victoria, my beautiful daughter.
I have never tried to write before.
I hope you like them and I would appreciate any views.
Thanks.
