A Letter To My Dad Poem by Ann Beard
A Letter To My Dad
If I could write a letter to my Dad.
I’d ask him, are you watching over me?
Seeing through my eyes the life, I’ve had.
Translating all the worldly sights, I see.
If I could put a question to my Dad
I’d ask him are you always at my side
The centre of my soul is very sad
Starting from the day they said you died.
If I could put my arms around my Dad
I’d ask him how to bare the wrath of men
Who, acting in the name of a religion,
kill without regret and feed on mayhem.
If I could just but walk beside my Dad
I’d ask him, was it hard to leave this earth.
did he shed the cares of loosing all he had
as, thought fell dormant, waiting for rebirth.
If I could just remember my Dad.
One memory, no matter how small
Of a special time of bonding that we had
But I can’t, it’s like he never was at all.

Ann, this struck a chord with me... I had a love-hate relationship with my own dad but when he died I realised that he actually wasn't the worse. So many family and friends in the world pass on before reconciliations can be made. Thank you.
it brought tears to my eyes, whenever there is a piece about a father. My father loves me very much and when he died, i stop breathing, Until now i still miss him..Glad i was able to read this.Thank you so much for sharing. Love and hugs, Meggie
A very sad poem, Ann. I was lucky to have had my dad for many years. My son and daughter, however weren't so lucky. My daughter was 14 when he died and my son only 6. Just broke my heart for them. My son has only a vew memories, unfortunately. A '10! ' Warm Wishes, Marilyn
Ann-This is so touching. The loss of the memories and or not having time to create those lasting moments, questions that won't be answered, Thank you for this poem.
This poem touched my soul, thank you for sharing this Ann.....
A lovely poem. I believe our loved ones are permitted to be with us and watch over us sometimes. My own father lived to be 86 but my mother only made it to 44. Thank you for sharing this poem with us.
Thank you Claudia, very nice. Loosing a father is hard at any age you obviously have some lovely memories. regards Ann
