A Dad Poem by louis rams

A Dad

Rating: 5.0


any man can be a father
but! not every man can be a dad.
(which is sad)

they help to bring you into a life unknown
.then at your mother, he throws stones.
he did not think of the ripple
effects this would have.

he thought just of his lust
and she of him-' put her trust.'

they say a rolling stone gathers no moss
i guess with him-it's just a loss.
it's easy to shrug the responsibilities
as you can plainly see.

but a father/dad is there at the dropp of a hat
to pick up any slack.
he is there to change your diapers
and to clean up your mess,
this is part of dads test.

he is there when you are sick,
and have your first tooth.
always there to play games with you
after a hard days work.
and listen to all that you have to say
this is 'a true dads way'.

a dad is there to wipe away your tears
and take away all your fears.
a dad is there at school plays,
baseball games, graduations for his child.
for he knows that it is worth while.

he is there every step of the way
until you are old and gray.

so to this ' i will say'
i'll love you my child
for always.
