My Father

My Father
I could never lived
Without you
Please father
Understand that
I need you in my life
Because I would be lonely
Also it is you that made me
Many years ago
And placed me to live on earth

A tender, heartfelt tribute that speaks directly and simply from the child’s perspective. The free-verse form gives the poem an unguarded, prayer-like sincerity, while its focus on gratitude, connection, and a father’s role gives it emotional warmth.
