Father,
You are my Dad,
I am Your child...
We've had our conversations.
We've had many more quiet times.
We've agreed on lots of things,
and disagreed on many others...
still,
we're family.
Some things You do make me happy.
Some things You do leave me sad and disgruntled.
Sometimes,
though,
it's the things You don't do
that annoy me.
I'm sure that's true of me to You,
too!
Mostly,
I think,
it's poor communication.
Either someone's not talking very clearly,
or,
someone's not listening very carefully,
or,
someone's jamming the air waves.
Maybe all three!
Whatever,
I'm sure we agree,
it could be better;
But,
that's always true of families,
isn't it,
Dad?
You are my Dad,
and though I may not act like it sometimes,
I like it that way.

Hmmm, honestly, I would say this was very poetic, but I still think it is rather good, for what it is.

I understand this, very much, and I think anyone who has a Dad who they love will understand it, too.

A very sweet write,
*hugs*

Father/son relationships are very complicated, much like mother/daughter relationships. You encapsulated the complexities very nicely.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
