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.
