Dad's Touch Poem by Ima Ryma

Dad's Touch

Rating: 5.0


Growing up, all I had was Dad.
He was my best friend, come what may.
At times, I cried when I was sad.
Dad gently wiped my tears away.
There weren't that many times for tears.
We lived and loved and laughed a lot.
Dad praised my hopes and soothed my fears.
Learn from feeling - was what Dad taught.
I wished that we'd go on and on.
But, that wish withered when Dad died.
I waited till they all had gone.
Kneeling next to his grave, I cried.

I missed Dad more than words could say.
Dad gently wiped my tears away.

Dad was your best friend. He had understood you very well. This is very true. Dad's touch delighted you. But when he died you got much pain and sorrow. This poem makes us emotional. May soul of your dad rest in peace! This is an amazing tribute poem! ....5 stars..

Very well done. I have fond memories of my dad also. I was expecting this poem to be humorous like most of your others that I have read, and was very surprised but not disappointed.
