Father

I write to you with nothing I write to you not knowing who I am in you I write to you with just thoughts, ideas of the ideal man Dear father I write to you in prayer, with my knees on the floor, in thought and with hands in the air Father I sing to you I praise you and see your hand everywhere Father I write to you with tears and a pain only flesh may bleed to please Father I see you seeing us from heaven and in wonder that you have left your son in each of our hearts, leaving us wondering how much we mean as your sons on Earth. Father Oh how great thou art, crafted in living How much you mean to us. Dear loving Father. A father who motivates, greatness in morals and being an example Dear Father oh how you have molded me in age, vision and in your xyz of principles Father I watch you in awe Watching your chess moves of living and being the king of our home. Tat'omdala indoda which knows to respect and love A Father I hope to be, how I mean to be you and walk in your enormous shoes How much you mean to us. Dear Father who isn't there. How much I mourn your presence. Dear Father how could you let me hang in a flag of colourless colour as I motivate to motivate being a man. Dear Father how much I mean to have seen you hold me and just say four letter. Dear Father I write to you with my tears and emptiness In my pain of hoping I may finally have someone I look like, who may correct my wrongs How much you mean to me. Dear selfish Father Oh how I hate you Dear Father may you be blessed in a terrible sorrow Father I write to you hoping you'd just say sorry and not return as it is you I scorn Oh father who abused and hit my mother in days of intoxication Oh father who never gave me anything, not even a name Oh how much your actions of pain have removed the manliness in man How much you mean to me Dear future fathers. May money and pride never seem to appetise you Fathers may you be real men who love their daughters and duplicates enough to mold them into real instruments of a better world Dear future men, may morals still be applicable to you in spite of all this twerking and foolish deeds Dear men I write to you for you to love and honour your wives And to continue growing as I honour how much you mean you to me.

Is this a tribute to good fathers or an example of good and bad fathers? But it is well written.

Its a tribute to all types of Fathers, I could think of while writing it. Funny thing is that's the poem I wrote the fastest, I stood up, walked, typed it on my phone and by the time I got to class had finished it.
