In Chains Poem by Dave Alan Walker
In Chains
Daddy why do they keep you in chains
Why won't you come home
Their going to send me away
Why do they keep you in chains
Son I killed a man
Cut him down dead
Watched his life float away
Now I got to pay
For what I've done
I hope you will forgive me
I will always love you
But now you must forget me
You've got a new family now
Oh god I miss my boy
God keep him safe
Don't blame him for what I've done
Don't let him turn out like me
Oh god I miss my daddy
Why do they keep him in chains
I'm scared of the dark
I want my daddys hand
God keep him safe
God forgive my sins
Keep my boy safe
God I miss my daddy
Why do they keep him in chains
Daddy come home
God I miss my boy
Son I'm going to miss you
Don't do like I have done
One day you'll have a son
Don't do like I have done
My daddys not coming home
God keep him safe
a very touching work sir. use of simple words and very meaningfully intense
this whole poem had me captivated such great writing. I could really feel the emotion in this poem. wonderful work.
Well you certainly know how to squeeze a heart don't you Dave. Goodness this tries to pull the tears out; I could not imagine a life where I am cognizant but without my daughters. A truly heartfelt piece Dave.
Dave, this poem is filled with strong emotion. Great write.. God bless you! :)
Great Poem, The fear of loved ones happiness and welfare spills out of this poem, how can a Father and a Child endure such pain as the panic of the others unknown future without eachother. Nothing is more genuine than the love between Child and Parent which you have expressed so well. Jon
I love the style you used in this, the angle of both father and son...thx for sharing

Very emotional. The despair and sadness is apparent here, and adds to the poem.
