Dads Advice

I wrote this poem while thinking of my Dad and the advice he use to relay on me. I was young and naive and didnt listen and today i realised how right he was. I regret not asking for more advice and i need him now more than ever. I miss him soo dam much. :(


Stand tall, He said,
Stand strong.
Dont let the thoughts of others 
ever bring you down

Stand firm, He said,
Hold your ground.
Even when others,
have done you wrong.

Stand brave, He said
Stand proud.
Empty minds
Always speak loud.

Stand up, He said,
For what is right.
Even through dark times
Just be the light.

Stand alone, He said,
Dont rely on many.
During tough times
There wony be any.

Stand tall, He said,
Stand head strong.
Have faith and believe, he said.
I'll Be watchin over you, ever proud..
