Daddy Why?

Contributed by Waynster on Wednesday, 28th March 2012 @ 03:15:37 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Why did my dad
Do to me the things he did?
Why did my dad
Say to me the things he said
I guess I will never know
For six years my dad has been dead

Why did my dad
Not allow me to have friends over?
Why did my dad
Not allow me to go places with my friends?
I guess I’ll never know,
The question in my mind never ends.

Why did my dad
Beat me with a belt?
Why did my dad
Lock up all my toys?
I just don’t understand
Why I couldn’t hang out with the other boys.

Many people
Have no idea what my childhood was like.
I had hand-me-down toys
And it took forever to get a new bike

As a child
my dad didn’t spend much time with me.
As a child
Those things I did not understand or see.

Then came the teenage years
When I was thrown out on my own
Just because I did not agree
Or to my dad’s rules I did not condone.

Every day of my life
I look back to what a family life I had
Every day of my life
I remember there was nothing between me and my dad.

He never held me in his arms
And said son I love you so.
He never took me places
Where I would really enjoy to go.

My dad never took me on a trip
Just him and I.
My dad will never take me on a trip
Because in 2006 he had to die.

I don’t write this poem
In anger or regret
It only taught me how to love my kids
Now that you can bet!

Dear dad
I know you must be in heaven
Dear dad
I know your spirit is somewhere in the sky
Dear dad, Why did you leave
Without telling me all the reasons why?

Daddy
I am still alive here on earth
Just know I forgive you
So your soul can have a rebirth.
Daddy
Someday we will meet again
When it’s time for me to leave this Earth.
