I often felt it;no one was blessed as I was for having you
Mother chose to fall in love well
and I thank her for making the right choice
You, daddy was the right choice
You loved her at the very best
You never cheated;
you said she was your equal
You loved her at the very best
You never cheated;
you said she was your equal
She came first in everything
You were a good example in all you do
No domestic chore was too unmanly for you
You made us breakfast, lunch and dinner
You were a good example in all you do
No domestic chore was too unmanly for you
You made us breakfast, lunch and dinner
you bathed me, you washed my clothes
You gave me a great mentality
You made me believed in me
You said I would excel
because I have got a good brain
You said too, that I was equal to any boy even better
I was happy to have you, daddy
Very happy I was
Though we weren’t rich
but I had the best father!
You and mother contributed to everything
You would hug and tell her she was everything
You bonded in a “too good to be true” way and I was proud
I rode with you to school
and to everywhere else
in you motorcycle I called “our jeep”
I could remember the way it made you laugh
I would cling to you
Laid my head on your back with no worries
You gave me a great mentality
You made me believed in me
You said I would excel
because I have got a good brain
You said too, that I was equal to any boy even better
I was happy to have you, daddy
Very happy I was
Though we weren’t rich
but I had the best father!
You and mother contributed to everything
You would hug and tell her she was everything
You bonded in a “too good to be true” way and I was proud
I rode with you to school
and to everywhere else
in you motorcycle I called “our jeep”
I could remember the way it made you laugh
I would cling to you
Laid my head on your back with no worries
Trusting you
Lost in my own world of sheer happiness
Lost in my own world of sheer happiness
The ride with my father
was the best part of my life
I bonded with you as no daughter has
You told me I was worth more than a 100 boy-child
I was the apple of your eyes!!!
But now I ride with you no more
You told me I was worth more than a 100 boy-child
I was the apple of your eyes!!!
But now I ride with you no more
I could not impress you with excellent marks
and my silly little jokes any more
I could not compete with mummy as her rival
seeking your attention any more
You left without saying goodbye
All mother does these days is sit at your favorite spot
gazing into the sky, reminiscing the old times
and talking to know one in particular
and my silly little jokes any more
I could not compete with mummy as her rival
seeking your attention any more
You left without saying goodbye
All mother does these days is sit at your favorite spot
gazing into the sky, reminiscing the old times
and talking to know one in particular
Could you be the one she commune with?
I wonder
I remembered our last conversation
Where you told me I am the best and
I should always remember daddy loves me
That was what you said
and now I ride with you no more
FYI: This is a fiction, the poem has no link with me

Thanks, I just wrote this poem when I saw a father riding with his daughter in the rain taking her to school. I love the way she laid her head on him, clinging tightly to him for protection. And I wrote this piece.
aww...lovely poem..really inspiration...i remember u told me once that your dad passed away sometime ago...but am glad to know he is very much alive in your heart.
Thank God for God fearing and Real men who become fathers...
it was a beautiful piece Standtall
Your r'ship with your dad is one to cherish.
I pray your mum finds strength & comfort 4rm Gods love. amen.
Awwww, what a beautiful piece. Really nice...men like this are indeed rare gems....nice post
lol@in you motorcycle I called “our jeep
Nice, very nice but
dearie, u must teach me how to write poem o.lollll
thankGod for fathers
BTW U ve been tagged, run to my blog for details, lolllll
Nice post. Funny, I just wrote a short poem for someone with the exact opposite experience with their father....Maybe I should post it one day. Rock on!
*How bodi?
@ Aloted; thanks but this is a fiction o. This is not ma papa's relationship with me. Though he too was a great man
@ Zena: thanks dearie
@ oluwadee: Hmmm, my dad and mum were gone. I am an orphan. This peom was just an inspiration and a world I would like to see...
@ Jarrai: thank dearie
Lovely poem, but still didnt get the end... did the father leave or he died?
Gosh...that fiction line should have been first...could have saved me the water works.....
had tears streaming down my face before seeing the fiction part...mchhhhewwwww.
Kai, babe..that poem is touching oh...great work..emotions felt..
Powerful poem - glad it is fiction, not really you.
Real talent you have there - to look at two other people and then to describe a world both so warm and hurt that is, indeed, a real world for someone.
Oh God I love my daddy so much!! (i just had to share that, now let me go scream it from the roof tops)
The poem is great!
aww you made me cry. My father and I are the best of friends. I cant even imagine ever being with my father. My dad has been going through illness and has been going hanging on by the strength of God and many many prayers across the globe.
I too thank my mom for the dad that she has chosen for me. Although, she wouldnt agree with me but I know that God has given him to me for a purpose and it is up to me to now fulfill that purpose in life.
awww this is so sweet, i mean the r/ship btw father & daughter.
nice blog.

I wish I was the one. Though my old dad tried to be there for me when he was alive. I am an orphan
Tears: Yeah dearie, I got the gist. I wasn't contesting but I am watching out for you folks. All the best
This was beautiful.Just beautiful! There is no bond like the one b/w a father and his daughter. Beautiful, poignant, and simple-I love this! Pat yourself on the back!!
How come you managed to mirror ur thot so well if it does not have any link to you. Shows how much creativity is embedded in you. Very well written.
Some people no fi read o...she talk say the tory na fiction abi na only me see am like that?
mehn...this thing is too touching abeg...makin me wish for lots more than I currently have with ma father...
NDQ:
I am giving the "patting" as u said. Thank you, thank you
Parakeet:
You sure know how to encourage someone. Thanks dearie.
Charizard: I put up the disclaimer after some bloggers assumed it was my story. I am happy you like the peom. Nice to speak to you really
ah so na fiction..lol..ok no wahala...nice poem still!
This is so "touchingly sweet". I feel the emotion and the bond between the father and the child in the poem. While I was reading and even after reading, I felt like I feel whenever I listen to "Dance with my Father" by Luther Vandross.
You are a good poet. Keep it up!
Nice one. Very creative and fictitious.
Standtall, the fact that you are an orphan makes the poem that much more powerful to me. Wish I could put my arms around you, call you "daughter" and adopt you.
Since I can't, I will call you "friend."
Beautiful poem. I wish.
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
you are fantastic!!!
a kiss for you, my dear friend!
god bless u dear
can we exchange our link
r u ready to do?

Without any doubt, the greatest man I have ever loved as been my father...

Thank you for sharing this!
Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!
