I need my dad

by Baby Rainbow   Oct 26, 2008


I needed to smile
so you tickled me
i needed to grow
so you lifted me
i needed to sleep
so you tucked me in
i needed my mum
so you gave me the phone
i needed a hug
so you opened your arms
i needed my dream
so you gave me your support
i need my dad
so you were there
i needed my puppy
so you tried to keep her
i need my dad now
but where did you go?

    I love how this is written. The repetition is amazing for this format, it reads almost like a childrens book ( a sad one granted ). I love how it shows everything that you've dealt with and how your father effected you.

    Your should be You're i believe...

    You seemed to truly love your dad and that is beautiful, I wonder where he went at that time or if there was an emotional crisis that was underway.

    The simplicity of this poem (to me at least) is a way for it to show the type of relationship you had between yo uand your father (though i might be reading into it to much since you were so young when you wrote this!)
    Either way i love the poem and its one of the best ones from your younger writes

    Aw this is really sad. It was a simple and short write, but so sad and moving. Once again, youve amazed me with your talent though, Honestly. xx
