A Letter, ' To My One And Only Daughter Poem by James McLain

I am your father, 'Dear,

and I never stopped

loving you.

I remember the day
you were born.

Your parent's both
were very tired like you
eye's shut resting
getting used to such
a gift that was you.

I am sorry, ' I am
not here for you,

May be your mother
and I?

And nothing bad
will this reflect to you
for you to hear me
say nothing bad
to you.

Adults act worse than
children most are unwise
when adults fail to act
they become then this
way to you.

Never ever think to you
little girl of four
that you will be
five then six the year's
will fly by.

As long as I live a day
cannot pass when

Many tear's, have I shed
for you.

Eyes for not being wiser
in thought than this that
allowed me not to be
there at your side.


For This Your Father Is Sorry.
