Homeless Mans Love For His Daughter

A homeless man played his guitar, for coin rewards put in a jar. A lonely life he always led, but in his heart a love he had. This love he thought of all the time, during the cold days brought sunshine. His songs were of a girl he loved, he sang to her, with stars above. So many years had gone on by, but in his heart, and reasons why. There was this hope that would not die, the thought of her just made him cry. Dedicated to my daughter Ashley... Michael Tor

I pray you find that close relationship with your daughter. I was closer to my mom but since she has died I have grown closer to my dad…tears. May Ashley find a song in her heart, a warm feeling at the thought of her dad. God bless!

This is a beautiful dedication to your daughter that will definitely make her understand how deep is your love for her. Though homeless the father here owns a great treasure, his daughter for whom he has boundless love. In the eyes of the world, he is a homeless person, but in some other ways, he is richer than many. Beautiful poem. So happy to see you back again, dear Michael

Hi Andrea sorry for the late response. I am OK miss all of you. I am taking a little break. Catching up on my home, just involved in my side business and just taking a little vacation. I'm feeling better miss my Poetry Soup extended family apologize for not letting my favorite Poets of my time off. Andrea I pray you are doing better or at least well. I have been doing a tremendous amount of research so much to share. It is always nice to see your smile. Hope you and your husband Joe are doing well. God bless you.

A most heartfelt accounting Michael..For me it Highlights thingss that have affected someone so much A chain of events is put in motion.' Although in The worlds scheme ( they may appear small ) Yet we can carry them for decades.' Often the Fallout for others is punative..Yet God can turn Things around.' Though the euphrates drys up Prayers will ever be flowing ' God bless

Dear Michael, your dedication poem for your kid is simply outstanding. It beautifully expresses the intensity of your feelings for her. A father's love for his daughter, like the songs that pour from your guitar, sustains her even in times of scarcity. This familial bond's strength is simply amazing! Your poetry elicits a deep emotional response from any father who adores his darling daughter, Michael.
