Memories Of Daddy Poem by Stephanie Kravitz

When I was a young child
I remember how I would run and hide.
In my daddies arms.
You were my hero then
And you always will be.
You were knight and shining armor.
I started to change more than ever now.
I became restless and very depressed.
Cuz my daddy was gone and I was sad.
It hurt so bad to know that my daddy left me with my mama.
I remember the crying I did every night of every day.
I felt it was my fault.
In a way I still do.
It got so bad that got put on all that medication.
It changed everything about me then.
You were always there though
Through thick and thin.
You always say daddy loves you more.
Now that I am older.
I started to notice how you started to drink a lot.
You changed everything about yourself in my eyes.
I just hope that some day you will
Break this spell
That your old demons have on you.
I need you to stand tall and proud.
Not drink a dropp alcohol.
You’re stronger than you know.
I have faith in you daddy.
Just stop with the drinking.
It makes you a different person.
You take your anger out on me and everything else.
I wish I could see why you do this.
This sorrow is hard to bear.
I want my old dad back
The one who was my hero and my knight and shining armor.
Sip after sip you just get lost in those lost misery eyes.
