Poetry: My dad

by Charmaine Lloyd

Created on: October 24, 2008

Comforting always, smiling bright,

Killing darkness, igniting light,

Quietly leading, gentle touch,

Expecting little, giving much.

Playfully teasing, humouring us,

Creating moments, with little fuss.

Peacefully mediating family strife,

Endlessly toiling providing life.

Actively loving, no need for talk,

Standing steadfast an honest walk.




Gentleman Father you make me proud,

Man of men, your honour shouts loud.

You're everyone's sweetie, loved so much,

You're my daddy darling -you are my crutch.

Luminous lighthouse leading me home,

Beacon of hope for your girl on the roam

Indulging my whimsies, letting them slide by,

Daddy I love you! You're my favourite guy!
