"Dad"

by ♥ Sonya   Apr 3, 2004


I remember when I was little
I didn't see you much
but, you were my hero
so big and so strong
nothing could compare to you daddy
but, when I got older
I began to realize
how many promise you made
and how many you broke
you'd say oh yeah, I'll call you
I'll come pick you up
I'd wait by that phone for hours
just to get nothing on the other end
I'd wait and look out that window
seeing cars go by
but, not one was yours
Why?
Why do you lie to me dad?
Why do you say things you don't do?
but, yet I still make excuses for you
I'll say, oh he'll be here he's just running late
they told me not to get my hopes ups
well looks like they were right
you let me down again
and yet i seem to be fine
even though I'm not
it tears me up inside
Dad why?
even though I'm older that doesn't mean a thing
you should be there for everything
Where were you for all my dance recitals?
My birthdays?
Or even on Father's day?
my mom, was there
and even my sister too
But where were you?
Do you see how much this hurts?
And how much it makes me cry?
to see that your not there
do you even care?
I love you Dad, you know I do
and I know you love me too
I just feel like I'm losing you.
What happened to my dad that used to be my hero?

Please commet and rate =) thanks!!

    Your poem was great..I am lucky as ive always had my dad there and hes always picked me up for visits ect..But my mum is my hero..She was there for everything in my bros ad my life yet my dad picks my bros up 4days outta a month and looks like a hero for spioling them rotten for a few days..I think mums out there are sum of the big heros..They need more credit...some dads are deadbeats and me and mine dont get along very much but there still our dads and we love em..
