The Daddy Poems (Example)

Today I took my little girl to school There was a whole lot of stairs to climb A whole lot of bending to the rule That I bended before I gave her time. I was older and wiser than when I came For myself alone in father's faint Footsteps, trembling my fear to tame In her eyes I saw light and restraint. Should she hold my hand, or stand apart What does each child think of her How can she improve me with modern art Or make me lovable to critics of her? Invisible in the world beyond, my little girl Now wishes it was still so in the room Where all her peers stood shaking at the world Wearing their parents eyes like perfume. O the little desk would not hold me again My stride here takes the stairs in twos But still the same is the parting and pain My little girl is in her world to learn and choose.
