DADDY TEARS HAVE NOT CEASED

Dedicated to My Daddy, My Father, My Dad
Eighteen years of grieving tears have not ceased my missing of you, Daddy! Daily, I speak prayers aloud, asking that I shall never forget your voice. Most of my Daddy memories, I fold tender inside my joy caddy. Some fears still taunt, haunt me about losing past shared times of clarity, While precious, Dad-vivid recall remains my heart’s held, treasured rarity. It saddens me that our forty-two years were ended by fate's own choice. As this sadness hits now, my tears fresh-fall hopes for remembrance charity For I still develop needs for you, my wondrous and devoted Daddy.

Not exactly, but I do wish I'd been that kind of daughter - nope, I was the teen who came home and went straight to my room always avoiding my parental units as much as possible. BUT I LOVED HIM and miss him, like the poem says, I want to shut my eyes and remember him animated, I want to always remember. Thanks, Paloma ... CayCay

You are so fortunate to have know the love of a father CayCay and to have had a close relationship with him. Your poem expresses this closeness beautifully! Best of luck in the contest. 7 ; )
