Daddy

Daddy do you remember 
all the times we had together?

When you took me fishin
and you got everything together like we were going on a mission

I would sit in your truck while you blared the song "Bad to the Bone"
without you ive never felt so alone

Daddy do you remember 
all the times we had together?

When you taught me how to ride my first bike
you wouldn't let me give up without a fight

Everytime I would fall 
you wouldn't let me give up at all

You would say to me "don't give up that's not how I taught you
you get back on even if you are all blue"

"And if you shall fall again
pick the bike back up and give it a spin"

"You don't ever give up and quit no matter the fall
you get back on and give it your all"

Daddy do you remember
all the times we had together?

If this was your first poem, then it was a good one. Your couplets contain decent descriptiveness and appropriate rhyming. I will take a look at some of your other entries eventually.
