Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Ballad

Longing For Father's Love

I am not a father
nor I am a mother
I am just a daughter
that is growing better...

Father, you have been away
I truly wish you have stayed
Hugging me as I lay
I don't need much penny...

All I have been missing
is you my daddy
Your love and your real company...

Look, how I am now
I pursued my little vow
Hoping always, You'll be proud
It's alright if you'll not be loud...

All I want is for us to bond...

Yes, I am neither a kid nor a child
Ever anymore
But still, there is that longing
I cannot deny...

I miss you much, daddy...

Funom Makama October 13, 2015 at 7:29 AM your lines wow me with each expressions from your craftily well expressed words showing unbelievable creativity even in simplicity. Good work friend and this is going to my fav straight away

Ovidiu Bocsa October 1, 2015 at 12:18 PM We find ourselves LONGING FOR FATHER'S LOVE...Congrat. I remember an aged person (about 85) crying because his father passed away. Then , in postmodern world , the only real consolation rests in ”Our Father who art in heaven...”

J Hamilton Gist August 19, 2015 at 4:38 PM You are extremely talented. Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 31, 2015 at 9:00 AM thank you so much.. =')

Ebenezer Baiden-Amissah August 12, 2015 at 11:23 AM It's such a nice poem.

David Waldrop August 11, 2015 at 12:43 AM I have never met my Father, so I know the loneliness of the emptiness..... I hope your your Dad comes home soon..

Debbie Duncan August 10, 2015 at 9:56 PM Nicely written Olive, sometimes some of us growup with out our fathers .

Gregg Beaty August 8, 2015 at 1:42 PM Heart wrenching, yet hopeful. It's hard sometimes. We make decisions that impact the ones we love. I can't imagine a parent that doesn't love and miss their children. Perhaps you'll connect again one day.

Probir Gupta August 8, 2015 at 6:11 AM A delicate poem. Simple but profound. In the longing is a lot of poetry. Obvious. Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

Zakhe Michael Mcunu August 7, 2015 at 7:10 PM Nice words

Jim Bowron August 7, 2015 at 11:57 AM as a father of daughters this poem has powerful gravity and true enlightenment

Kilalo Mwashighadi August 7, 2015 at 7:04 AM With three dots at the end, the longing continues. Father. Love. Life and all that lies in between

Vee Sherman August 6, 2015 at 7:14 PM Hello Olive..Very nice work. You allow your feelings to arise and I liked it very much.

Ralph Sergi August 6, 2015 at 12:54 PM Hi Olive: I can only imagine what is like not to have a fathers love. I was very moved by your poem

Frank Black Blacharczyk August 6, 2015 at 8:41 AM I have seen couples separate for the strangest reasons and then justify it. But the effects on their children can last a lifetime. The imagery in this poem for that longing is very good. The child in us always looking for our parents approval and love.

Siphelele Shabalala August 6, 2015 at 8:33 AM yOU TOUCHED MY HEART AND MAKE ME NOT TO CRUMBLE AS YOUR WORDS IN THIS ARE POEM ARE SOME OF THE WORDS I ALMOST LONG TO HEAR OR READ. YOU HEALED ME...

Christopher Leonidas August 6, 2015 at 4:24 AM Amazing poem. The feelings are interesting.

Noel Villarosa August 6, 2015 at 2:23 AM The very thought of him was exhilarating. Bonding is a natural and biological certainty. Longing for a father daughter bonding may get you into a feeling that there is a void in your life which you are trying to fill. A true feeling inscribed with this heartfelt and endearing poem. Love reading this, Olive and congratulations. (^_^) Noel. Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 3, 2015 at 11:46 PM thanks much Noel.. touched and bitten sweet by your comment.. =`)

Dave Timperley August 6, 2015 at 1:37 AM You need to go through this to know it. You have. I have. My Dad left when I was only 5 years old and he died in 1977 without passing on his love to me. Great write. God Bless. D. Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 3, 2015 at 11:45 PM Indeed you are right, but I know this feeling so well.. thanks much and God bless too. =`)

Namratha H August 6, 2015 at 12:36 AM A Very nice touching Poem Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 3, 2015 at 11:41 PM thanks much! this poem brings me to the same feeling I have years ago but am alright now.. =`)

Ian Jones August 6, 2015 at 12:31 AM Very tender pleading. It is difficult to pour in the emotions and still make it sound poetic but the balance here is spot on. As a father I love my three daughters like life itself, even when they are being a little thoughtless. I lost contact with one for a few years but we found each other again and repaired and reinvested I hope the person in your poem does the same. Kind regards, Ian Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 3, 2015 at 11:39 PM He is already Ian and so I thank God so much.. thank you for your sweet comment.. touched!

Bl Devnath August 5, 2015 at 10:37 PM Excellent heart touching poem read from you. Filled with beautiful emotion. 7 i feel. Loved always, my lovely friend,bl

Vasudevan Desikachari August 5, 2015 at 8:41 PM The craving of a child,a kid and later a maiden for the warmth,love and affection of her father who is apparently away from he for some reason are brought out quite emotively in these lines. I liked this poem Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 31, 2015 at 8:59 AM thank you so much for liking my poem.. I so appreciate it.. this is one of my most personal poem so close to me... =') Blessings!
