Through shifting tides and skies of gray,
One light remained to guide my way.
Through storms and trials, you stayed by my side,
Whichever place, whichever time.
No fleeting love, no passing phase,
A bond that warmed my darkest days.
No matter the chaos, the pain or the fight,
You are my anchor, my shining light.
She grew up with a father’s name,
But felt alone, though not to blame.
They loved the celebrity, not her true self,
A child just wanting friendship past wealth.
Music runs through us, a timeless stream,
From my father's sax to the songs you dream.
The melodies play, but it's more than just sound,
In our hearts, this rhythm is always found.
In every chord, she found her way,
A friend in music, where thoughts could stay.
With every note, her soul would sing,
A dream to make her own life ring.
She stepped from the shadow, so vast and wide,
She found her way, with music to guide.
With every step, she claimed her name,
A woman now, not just part of fame.
Quote By Poet: "Tears are rain from the eyes."
When the phone rings,
it is 1:30 AM.
A doctor saying,
your dad is gone.
How did I manage to say,
thanks for your call?
Tears filled my eyes and face,
my dad is gone but how could that be?
My hero of a man,
who left his home~family~to fight a war.
A dad who took the time,
to help with homework.
His wisdom was everlasting,
"a winner never quits and a quitter never wins."
My memories drift off,
to a great man and dad.
One who loved his,
family and country.
Where the beach would find him,
fishing the blue sea.
He was called friend,
because he was a friend to all.
Now Gone, I So Wish I Could Sing A Song
Why did he smile only by few inches
His face contorted and it was askew
By the garden was a flock of finches
Old age, do we forget what we once knew
His arms were skinny, not near as mighty
His head kinda bald and his beard bright white
He said his first wife was mad, too flighty
When loving her body was quite a sight
But he was my beloved dad and proud
Often complained of failing eyesight
And when he did that it was very loud
Told me when you do something do it right.
My dad, so tough, honest as day is long.
Now gone, I so wish I could sing a song!

Sonnet,
My father was the most honest man I've ever known.
And tough as nails too.
Things are not the same
People are out of my frame
Nothing is the same without you
Still, No one is to blame, I feel so...
Time will heal everything,
They say so;
Still we feel like nothing,
Without you
Your memories, like catalyst,
make us smile
and expunge woes, at least
for a while
Like a spritual mentor,
your virtuous words,
guide us through
help confront the world
Being filled with your
sweet memories,
Vanity inside me
becomes bountiful
Doing the tasks
from your bucket list,
The gist of my life, I get
For the rest of my life, I'll never quit
It's been 3years since
You passed away
But memories of you
never fade away
Yes, things are not the same,
People are not in my frame,
But, our love for you,
remains the same
And now I am here to wish you
"Happy Father's day"
I know you hear me, though
you are far away

Always keep my words in mind, you've turned fifteen, my daughter!
Others' eyes don't see you like me on mind's screen, my daughter!
Every man's eyes have blue dreams about you, understand it,
They tend to hide red flames and signals look green, my daughter!
Beds are not that comfortable when life is in your thoughts,
World is fire and depth on sides, you are between, my daughter!
The respect a woman deserves is extinct around you;
Just as a symbol of sex now she is seen, my daughter!
Don't trust anyone, make the best of your decisions now,
A Messiah in your life is unforseen, my daughter!
Live your life as rebels are everywhere to dethrone you;
The country is in your hands, you are the queen, my daughter!
Dear, your life is also the life of your sincere papa,
To see you living the best of life, I'm keen my daughter!

Father's Day's a way to thank Dad
For all the good times you two have had
Fixing your bike or cutting your hair
Dad always showed you how much he cared
He helped you with homework, pinch-hit for Mom
Surprised you with presents, stayed calm during Prom
Drove you to practice; picked you up at the end
Adjusted your allowance so you'd not overspend
Dad's a pal and a mentor rolled into one
Guiding your life like the moon and the sun
Upon the couch I sit,
Leather on my skin.
The warmth of another amazing human next to me.
The clicking sound of two computers.
Two souls freeing themselves into verse and prose.
With no fear to go,
nothing to hold them back,
but the mind... and maybe the cat.
Two souls much alike,
In mind, souls and heart.
Both have the gift of words,
both have felt that hurt.
Both have loved like no other,
Both have very caring mothers.
Both have fell in love with poetry soup,
no matter the droop.
Twas the middle of the night,
both were asleep with minds alight.
I love you dad.
I wanted to run up the mountains of Ibiza,
Only to run back down one, fast and strong,
But James had passed on a while back,
And when more normal, I did to him belong.
So I did not suggest my desire to my dad,
For a few days because I feared him sane,
About me being my brother’s child really,
About me knowing it with all my brain.
But I wanted him to know i resent no carer,
No mentor who was an atheist on my level,
‘Cos I had one at school who was slammed,
Since they knew with him I wouldn’t bevel.
So I told them I wanted to climb a mountain,
Straight, not with strings or emotional tone,
And he growled something in scathing return,
So I decided from then to use the home phone.
A Man, A Father, A Dad
God created you in his image, and breathed life into your lungs,
He provided you with a help mate, to bring forth your many young.
He equipped you with the right tools, to help you along the way,
He gave you dominion over many things, to share with whom you may.
God created you in his image, and molded you out of clay,
He worked many miracles, and completed them all in a day.
He placed in you a heart of gold, that is loving, gentle and kind,
He carved a path for you to follow, made strictly by design.
God created you in his image, into the person you are today,
He filled you with the strength to lead, never to go astray.
He was pleased with his creation, fashioned by his mighty hands.
His finished product is not an image; it’s a Man, a Father a Dad!!

HER DADDYS’ EYES
Her daddy’s eyes were a soft light brown
They danced with the light
And shone like the moon
She liked to look deep inside them eyes
B’coz sure enough daddies’ eyes never did lie
The clouds were dark in their house that year
And her heart thundered with fear,
As her family strife tried to tear-
Apart into a thousand pieces.
Her daddy’s eyes were closed in prayer,
And when he opened them…there was no fear,
And when he looked at her: there was warmth,
The tears in her own eyes dried up,
As he looked at her with love,
And she knew everything would be okay
B’coz sure enough daddies’ eyes never did lie.
They spoke a language she and he,
Though his tongue was forever sealed,
His eyes spoke volumes to his dear girl
When she achieved and succeeded they sang praise
When she messed up they grew with anger,
They taught her about life’s issues and
Whenever she was sad they brought her comfort
And she knew to trust him
B’coz her daddy’s eyes never did lie.

Being that it is now Christmas time.
Two influential people come to mind.
Although, they’re not here, I won't shed tears.
The world hasn’t a clue of what they did over the years.
From their stem you get a person like me.
Born to help others, but not instinctively.
I went through training on being good to the core.
Because, the way I was, caused many to quit before.
My Grandmother and her son never gave up on me.
Whatever they were seeing, I just could not see.
Their repeated repetition and expression of love.
Finally seeped in , and eventually woke me up.
So, like them, I pass along what I have learned.
Hoping to get through, before a life gets burned.
By putting in work, I hope that when I am gone.
I’ll be on that train that took them home.
This day - a marvelous devotion to my Dad,
who is emissary to the bonds of familial love.
Man who bestowed life upon me, you stand above
any man God created, hero role- you always had.
Gallant and fair, even when you were mad.
When life got too hard you gave me a shove-
Now I am a fortuitous woman, ti's you- because of.
Immortally your daughter, for this I am glad.
Protector, mentor - a few ways to define you
What really counts, though, is from the heart,
Copiously you bestow this gift so true-
The whole of your being, faithful you impart
Family matters, and no other- is your world view
Beings intertwined together... Never shall we part.
He loved you too, you know
Loved you like his very own
In away you were
You came into his life as my friend
Through the years you grew to be my brother in arms
Along the way you became the son he never had
He loved you as a friend
He loved you even more as a son
A son he never had
When things began to spiral out of control
You stayed when so many others ran away
You helped when I couldn’t
You meant a great deal to him
You never looked at him differently
Nor did you treat him differently
You stood by his side
When he fell, you stood by his side and mine
You were willing to help me fight his battle for him
You were there from the beginning
You were there until the bitter end
Always remember my friend, my brother
He loved you more than you’ll ever know
Dedicated to close Family friend, who Loved our Dad just as much as us.
We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost half of how we came to be
We lost we four girls first love
We lost our Best Friend
We lost more than just a Dad that day
Our Mom lost her Soul Mate, Her other half
Our children lost their Papaw
We lost our family’s foundation
We lost the glue that held us together
We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost the Strongest man we ever knew
We lost the man we looked up too
We lost we four girls Teacher of many things
We lost more than just a Dad that day
We four girls lost our Hero
We lost some of our Light
We lost part of our Heart
We lost part of our Soul
We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost some of our Courage
We lost some of our Strength
We lost some of our will to fight back
We lost some of our will to carry on
We four girls lost more than a Dad
We lost more than just a Dad that day
We have been together
treasured joy now for many years
we trust each other with our
emotions, with affection, tears,
Any day when you are sick or hurting
I feel your pain - significant other,
when either-one needs attention
we help one another...
These mutual friendly feelings
for assistance, approval, support
form our tight bonds,
usually never broken
Sharing visions, time together
we respect each other,
regardless of shortcomings
I know you, "I love you anyway"
