Daddy by Deana Powell
I once knew a man,
Who gave love at his best,
Who did what he believed was right.
I once knew a man,
Who suffered uncontrollably,
Who found out how much he was loved.
I once knew a man,
Who gave everything he could,
Until he couldn't go on.
The man I once knew,
I will always remember,
As my daddy.
I love you wherever you are.

My father passed away in Oct. of '98. He was a wonderful man, and I'll always remember him. That is why I wrote this poem. To tell others of how was.

bubble hi, one night i spent the night at my friends house. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw an ambulance outside. Then i saw them take a person out with covers on them. The person was my friends dad he was dead thats what i thought. when we went downs stairs the next day her mom was crying. We asked why and she told us that their father died. So i was right. The only thing that i could do is comfort them. 2 days later i gave them a sympathy card and they said thank you and the mother gave me a kiss. - amber

bubble Oh my gosh. I love this poem. It touched me so very deeply, possibly because my dad died in October '98, too. I was young at the time, but I will forever love and miss him. Your poem just expressed everything I was feeling so skillfully. I am impressed. Keep up the good work! - Letty

bubble Hey, I have never lost a parent or a friend. But my mom is disabled and this Easter when the family was together there was a fight and my aunt attacked my mom causing her a black eye, a brusied rib and pain caused every single day. To top that all my mom has had a lot of back problems and neck problems from a car accident and is in a series of pain that kills me to see because I feel helpless. So all I guesse I wanted to say was that I liked your poem a lot and that I hope that you are oka - Dezaree
bubble Hey this is a really good poem. unfortuantly we have gone through the same thing, living without a father. I lost my dad when i was 14. i am 15 now. it was last year but I remember it as it was yesterday. I know it kills you inside as it does me. But my father passed away by cancer. and i never got to say good bye or i love him. But I know now that he knows how I feel. I pray to him every night. well my love is with you and your family. I will love to see some more poems from you. Much love, from jessica - jessica

bubble I just recently lost my father 2 months ago to his battle with lung cancer, I am only 17 years old, I am a Junior in High School and I have a little brother who is 9 and my mother who is 36. Your Poem really touched me. my dad he was a fighter all of his life and he faught till his last breath that he took,I watched him suffer the 10 months that he battled this disease and it was so hard to see him like that, and it killed me to see him the way he was. he was only 42 years old. But i have had to learn the hard way that you dont take things for granted ever . It is one of the questions that we ask God that we may never know. but he always does the things for a reason. I want you to know that your poem was very tuching to me. - Cayla
bubble i really liked this poem because it reminded my of my step father that was like my real dad. he pasted aways a year ago. so every time i read this poem i always think about him. - nicole
bubble This poem really touched me. i feel her pain because i too lost my dad in february 2004. he didnt even get to see me turn 15,my b-day is in april 4 so you could only imagine how i spent my b-day. i love him so much but theres nothing i can do to bring him back he's the best thing that ever happened to me. we were so close,i felt like it was only me and him in this world. ill never forget his smile,laugh,face or anything. To me he was the best man that ever walked this world he was so nice but yet he suffered so much and that hurt me,but now i know hes in a much better place waiting for me. Instead of saying bye daddy i said see you later daddy. This poem might be short but its full of feelings. - Auremy
