Words I will never hear spoken

by Kaila   Oct 30, 2009


He use to make me laugh so hard.
I would hold him when I'd cry.
He use to sing my country tunes,
and especially sweet lullabies.

I did not realize he was gone,
until that alarming night.
He left so quick right out of here,
not even one last sight.

So as I sit, a grown-up girl
without my daddy near.
I sit and wonder what he'd say
if he were really here.

"Well Kaila that boy in English class
he ain't to good for you.
Do I have to get my rifle,
and tell him what to do?"

"Now what's with that dress?
Ain't it ridin' a little short?
Let me tell you that story
when we used to build those forts."

"Get off that stupid cell phone,
and talk to me face to face.
You know when you smile,
it lights up this whole place."

Well your not here to say this.
So I'll just lye here and cry,
and except the dreadful truth;
on that forlorn night you died.

I still think about your smile,
and how you'd hold me on one knee;
but don't worry dad I'll always know
how much you did love me.

    You put your heart and soul into writing this. You can just feel the emotions oozing out of it. Very powerful and strong piece of writing. Definitely an honor read it. Please, stay strong. Your father would be so proud of you. He really would be! You have a real talent for writing and I pray you continue to keep it up...

    This is very sad, but you put so much love and effort into it I could tell. I'm glad you still remember him and its nice to know he'd be curious about boyfriends and things like that, most fathers are. Its obviously hard growing up without a father I've done it most my life to be honest, but it'll make you stronger because of it and just because he's gone doesn't mean he has to be forgotten :) Great job 5/5
