Dear Daddy

My daddy will always be the best man I've known.
Always been there for us, watching his family grow.
Now that I'm older and have kids of my own.
I wish I would've listened and taken a different road.
My daddy has always lended a helping hand.
Just so those people can take run over that good man.
I have been one of them, guilty as charged. 
For taken advantage of your selfless heart.
I'm sorry daddy for not being a good daughter. 
Can we begin to start our relationship over?

This speaks to me like you wouldn't believe. i was estranged from my father for 6 years and id give anything to have them back. now on the cusp of losing him, i am happy that we have a relationship but oh, so regret those years. Good luck with building your relationship, and THANK YOU for sharing this piece.

One thing I have learned is to cherish every moment. Even in bad situations remember everything happens for a reason. I still have alot of regrets but I try to learn from them all. I am glad you enjoyed my poem :-) that's the reason why I share. If it's not heart felt, it's not worth writing to me. Making memories are what's most important. And like I've said before in my poem sweet memories, one day that's all we will be. Is just someone's sweet memory. :-)
