Father

I write to you with nothing 

I write to you not knowing who I am in you 
I write to you with just thoughts, ideas of the ideal man 

Dear father I write to you in prayer, with my knees on the floor, in thought and with hands in the air 
Father I sing to you 
I praise you and see your hand everywhere 
Father I write to you with tears and a pain only flesh may bleed to please 
Father I see you seeing us from heaven and in wonder that you have left your son in each of our hearts, leaving us wondering how much we mean as your sons on Earth. 
Father Oh how great thou art, crafted in living 
How much you mean to us. 

Dear loving Father. 
A father who motivates, greatness in morals and being an example 
Dear Father oh how you have molded me in age, vision and in your xyz of principles 
Father I watch you in awe 
Watching your chess moves of living and being the king of our home. 
Tat'omdala indoda which knows to respect and love 
A Father I hope to be, how I mean to be you and walk in your enormous shoes 
How much you mean to us. 

Dear Father who isn't there. 
How much I mourn your presence. 
Dear Father how could you let me hang in a flag of colourless colour as I motivate to motivate being a man. 
Dear Father how much I mean to have seen you hold me and just say four letter. 
Dear Father I write to you with my tears and emptiness 
In my pain of hoping I may finally have someone I look like, who may correct my wrongs 
How much you mean to me. 

Dear selfish Father 
Oh how I hate you 
Dear Father may you be blessed in a terrible sorrow 
Father I write to you hoping you'd just say sorry and not return as it is you I scorn 
Oh father who abused and hit my mother in days of intoxication 
Oh father who never gave me anything, not even a name 
Oh how much your actions of pain have removed the manliness in man 
How much you mean to me 

Dear future fathers. 
May money and pride never seem to appetise you 
Fathers may you be real men who love their daughters and duplicates enough to mold them into real instruments of a better world 
Dear future men, may morals still be applicable to you in spite of all this twerking and foolish deeds 
Dear men I write to you for you to love and honour your wives 
And to continue growing as I honour how much you mean you to me.

Is this a tribute to good fathers or an example of good and bad fathers? But it is well written.

Its a tribute to all types of Fathers, I could think of while writing it. Funny thing is that's the poem I wrote the fastest, I stood up, walked, typed it on my phone and by the time I got to class had finished it.
