Best Fatherlife Poems
He clears his throat with a loud
"please-see-me" noise
As he eavesdrops on my half
Of a phone call from a boy.
He thinks bad things about me
And my friends who drink and smoke
As if he lived his life alone,
A halo as his cloak.
Our memories are not the same
Of life with him, five kids and her
Just two of us could take his name
The rest of us just called him 'sir.'
I loved him many years ago,
A child was I of his own betrothed
And now they're gone, the ones he loved,
As he rocks in his chair clearing his throat.
With the shiny lantern of wisdom
Creeping through the dark tunnel of life
To meet the world as far as I could;
Boulders which curbed my path
Kick them off as tiny round pebbles;
Dad, You navigated me when I was young.
Deem the pain of others as mine;
Share the blithe of life among all;
Aware us all breathing same air and dust
Living on same Earth, under the same sun;
You taught me things which were not in books;
Dad, You were my first alma mater that I could trust.
To be truthful in front of a bullet;
Not to be greedy for power or wealth;
Content with reap what I've earned;
Fill my heart with love not with hate;
I adore your vision though hard to lead;
Dad, I follow you as FATHER of my life!
I begun to write this,
with wicked and evil thoughts
still on my mind.
I’m second guessing faith.
Why was he taken from us?
Why so soon?
“The wicked always outlast the good,”
you used to say.
“That means I’m wicked,”
Would we live longer that he did?
That’s something only God could answer.
I cleared my mind from the negativities around me.
I began to think, as a child should.
I’m a mess, we are all…
His death came as a shock,
His life is now over,
No more worries, no more bills, no more working!
It’s his time to rest.
Close your eyes sleep…
We all have our day…
We’ll soon meet.
Watch over us,
as you have when we were smaller.
You have raised us to be
strong individuals.
So, don’t you fret too much up there!
Tomorrow is another day… life goes on.
This is your eulogy…
I didn’t describe your life
as being full and productive,
or merry and loving to all!
It tells a short story of hope and love.
“It was not too long?”
“Don’t smile!”
“It’s a sad day for our family,”
Now, I want to hear what they have to say.
To my daddy
I don’t know how to put these words in place I love you so much
At times I sit and stare wondering if you’re going to return and relieve me from this
nightmare
When they told me you died I was like stop lying that can’t be true not Gary not him he didn’t
deserve to die he’s my father my world my life my mind cant stop spinning with thoughts
Why can’t they stop?
The funeral almost killed me wanting to crawl in the casket with you but couldn’t
I can’t understand…
I see everyone with their father you were my everything and still are my entire life
I thought life was supposed to be like finish high school, graduate from school ,go to college,
get married have you to walk me down the aisle, be a grandpa and I love you forever more
I guess life and destiny got in the way
I’m praying that I’ll make it to heaven to see you fall in your arms and cry till I can’t no more
Lord please forgive me
Daddy I wish I could see you one last time and explain and express and tell you everything
(things changed after you died) mom is tripping and blaming me for everything when its not
my fault
Please come back
If your listening to me dad know I love you…

father dear , you lied and betrayed.
i cant believe you.
words are all talk.
thats what you are, all talk and no actions.
you do drugs to hide from your kids.
so they wont see how much of a low life you are.
father dear, change your life or i wont be apart of it.
father dear, i am beautiful in my own way.
father dear, i am smart.
im tierd of being broken, its my turn to be whole.
father dear, your a fool.
I wish I was dead,
I wish I was gone from this place.
I wish my life was over,
I wish I could disappear with no trace.
I wish things could change,
I wish this life wasn't like this.
I wish I didn't wake up the next day,
I wish my time in this world was dismiss.
I wish I didn't cry,
I wish I could keep it all inside.
I wish I didn't feel any pain,
I wish that today I could just die.
I wish you weren't you,
I wish you could act like my dad.
I wish I looked up to you,
I wish you would treat me like your son.
