"What I have Learned about Broken Promises is Priceless." By Poet
As a young child,
friends would make a promise.
They would break their word,
followed by hurt.
The dating world was famous for this trick,
as boys loved to break their promise.
Did it make them feel powerful?
Maybe!
My dad was a very wise person,
he never made many promises.
Guess he knew the pain hiding behind words,
words that were unkept are friends with lies.
He would say,
we will see or maybe.
I knew if he had made me a promise,
it was guaranteed to be done.
So glad this lesson was learned as a child,
thanks dad.
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.
I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers
teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us.
We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.
Umberto Eco, Foucoult’s Pendulum
LIFE
Living on road, once a week.
Inhabiting Dad’s kitchen.
Food for two with leftovers.
Every subject chewed o’er
Our friend Mr. Ed was a talking horse.
We remember him with tears of remorse,
But, children, please try not to be so sad.
There are excellent reasons to be glad!
While we strain to recall a word he said,
Take heart - consider, it’s better he’s dead.
The parts of him that were both fast and true
Still hold quite as fast in our Elmer’s glue.
We can ride our new horse through the heather
On a saddle made from his fine leather.
What’s left over is an essential cog
In a sound diet for our talking dog.
A carapace of courage
Lies buried in the hills.
A library of wisdom
Stocked with empty pages,
Erased for all the ages.
A husk of special skills
And verbal vitality
Dad, juggernaut at rest.
"All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone
Such is a carnal perspective
midst human nature's sexy frame...
yet Dad, with divine directive
taught us, his daughters, godly claim.
A real man... according to Dad
wants the best for his girl so dear
to look well, whatever the fad
since what matters most is heart's gear.
Instilled with Dad’s wisdom so true
I love looking good with smart zest
not affected by others’ view
as long as God favours my best.
Aries
husband, father, doctor, and cricketer,
Lover of poetry, photography, music,
in a World divided by arrogance, ignorance and greed!
Dream of a world without borders, of happy children without starvation,
I fear world is consumed by prejudice, selfishness and lacks wisdom,
I am a devote friend, a romantic lover, a committed dad,
My magic wand would sprinkle happiness to all, smash grief like a battering
Ram!

Tennis on the television.
Heinous sneezes from my toddler.
Lettuce bits sprayed across our laps.
Menace to society's Joe the Waddler,
Arriving at the war zone toy room,
Deriving future campaigns in his mind.
Writhing within the haze of colored plastic he's
Diving into Roman ruins, covered in shiny blocks, laying supine.
In walks the 5-year-old
And our most decorated of soldiers.
Endowed with the wisdom to sleep in, she's now
Entwined with Daddy, smelling of warm bed and Folgers.
"Is it a girl? I think it's a girl!!...Doc?"
Flowers form'd blooms from sunny Easter skies
Let's call her Sophia Pascal Peacock
Our first baby born with baby blue eyes
You were two, I'd brag..."See what I'm seeing?"
Sighing, your mother would cringe and quiver
"Look! We've made the perfect human being,
She got all the best things we could give her!"
Wisdom, passion, love flows from your spirit
So alive with drive, caring and kind too
Accepting defeat? No, you won't hear it
So...you know...we can't be more proud of you
Birth day, we pray'd, thank'd God that He brought her
Now sweet sixteen, my beautiful daughter
Your faithful presence, felt through all the years
our father's constant love brings grateful tears.
Without complaint, you worked hard to provide
though often tired, you listened as we shared
about our day, and then you'd gently guide
with words of wisdom, and we felt inside
you understood, with tenderness and care.
How reassuring
to have a father who loved
so deeply and completely.
You sacrificed, gave
and persevered for our sakes
we are blessed to call you DAD.
