The Greatest Father Day’s Gift!

By  |   |   |  13 comments  
A poem written nine years ago by my daughter that forever I will treasure.



You’re the greatest man I’ve known
You’re the most lovable guy I have
I treasure you, don’t you know?
I love you, does it shows?

I’m just amazed about these things
Why can’t I tell you my fears inside
Maybe because I fear you a lot
But still my love for you is more than everything.

I won’t last a day
Without hearing your sweet and tender words
I won’t live at least a minute
Without you… yelling at me!

When you’re quiet… I’m afraid
Because I know I’ve hurt you
You’re my best friend, but why do I hide secrets from you?
Maybe because I fear you.

Whenever my teacher asks what are we afraid of
I just say “I’m afraid of my dad, especially when he’s mad
My classmates will murmur and will just stare at me
I don’t care! All I know is that I’m afraid of losing you!

Sometimes I think I better die
Whenever silence gets powerful and makes a wall between us
I know, I’m your silliest and naughtiest daughter
But I assure you that I have the best love for my father.

Words I’m not good!
Actions I’m not worth!
But this poem truly shows
How much I love my father!!!

    This poem is wonderfully worded! A daughter's love sometimes can't be expressed in so many words but your daughter just succeeded. May lahing makata talaga kayo, Papaleng. LOL! Mula sa ama hanggang sa anak. San ka pa? ;-)
