[hometext] => A father is always proud... especially this one. But life is full of hard lessons.
[bodytext] => For one brief moment in time...
the world stopped turning. He had brought a new life into this world. He would love it... and nurture it... like he never had been. He told himself he would never be like his own father, walk out when he was just two. He would watch her grow, and be there when she took her first step. He would never lose hope.. no matter how hard things got. The world has kept on turning... and his little girl is no longer little. She leads a life of her own, with her own girly problems. She doesn't go to Daddy anymore, she turns to her mom and her friends. Things aren't the same anymore... she isn't his little girl anymore. No matter what... he continues to love her and hold her, like things never changed. He waits in the lobby, hoping, praying... then he gets the news. He is the father of the youngest daughter in town. He bows his head in shame... what did he do wrong? Did he not love her enough... did he not hold her long enough? Where he had gone wrong? Now his baby girl, his angel... watches as he is lowered into the ground. Things were never the same after that. She feels the tears run down her cheeks, she never got to say sorry... she never got to tell him that she knew just how much he loved her. She never did and never will get the chance. Her mother looks at her... the tears spooling onto her cheeks. The girl bows her head in shame... and for the first time feels guilty about everything: not telling him she loved him every night, not hugging him long enough, not being there when he needed her the most... and making him become ashamed of her. Actually... this girl is only guilty of one thing... writing this poem about life's hard lessons.

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. ©
