Hgarvey Daniel Esquire Poet Rhyme

If I Only Knew My Dad

This is a story about a man , I believe, conspired to drive me Mad
A ghost, a phantom, formed in the imagination of my Childish mind
So long ago: to protect him from scrutiny I changed his name to : Dad
The mirage of my youth : He’s tall and stately, dapper, and refined
Wavy brown hair with a tinge of curl, dimples that grow with his smile
Winter gray steel blue eyes, shining, radiating unconditional : LOVE
A compassionate man, congenial and friendly and he goes the extra mile
If You see my hallucinatory delusion , a picturesque symbol of LOVE

TELL HIM I AM SAD and I WOULD BE SO GLAD IF I ONLY KNEW MY DAD

 Inspired by and Dedicated to Carolyn Devonshire for Her " D A D "

Kristin Reynolds March 12, 2009 at 4:31 PM So sweet of you, but o' so sad. I never knew my dad either, and the only step dad I got was a real life psychopath. love, Kristin

Sharon Winter March 12, 2009 at 12:53 PM This tugs at my heart. Every boy needs his dad, although I know that isn't always the case, as I know some dads are not very good dads. I'm sorry. Very emotional and powerful write. Love & hugs, Shar
