Daddy Still Runs Your Show Poem by Mary Havran
Daddy Still Runs Your Show
Daddy surely did love you
In his own fashion that is
And surely he told you sometime?
Though in a manner quite strictly his
Daddy demanded perfection
And all that such entailed
And surely he meted out correction
With rectifications clearly detailed
Daddy was very successful
A man standing above other men
And surely his life was quite stressful
As he reminded you time and again
Daddy was hard to please
And why should you have found him other?
And surely you understood
Observing the secreted tears of your mother
Daddy set high the standard
And outlined the goals for your measure
And surely that inspired your need
To place accomplishment ahead of pleasure
Daddy still runs your show
Though he lives now but in your head
And surely your present behavior reflects
The cold way he toodled you off to your bed
My father was not around, from when I was about 18 months old, drink, stress, four Children he just couldn't handle the pressure, I phoned him up when I was 24 and asked if he would like to come to our wedding He said he would, and from that day to this we do keep in touch, Thankyou for this great poem Love duncan X
