DADDY DEAREST - an acrostic poem

 DADDY DEAREST (For my Father, James aka Slim)

 

Don’t ever question my love for you…

And don’t you ever wonder if I appreciate all that you do

Don’t you know that you are my Earthly King?

Don’t you know all the joy, affection, and protection you bring?

You are my Daddy Dearest – the man whom I cherish, love and adore

 

Designated by the Divine to be my parent, my friend, my life mentor

Encouraging my talent, believing in my dreams, complimenting my beauty

Always nourishing my esteem. It’s always my pleasure to hear God’s word

Resonate from your lips. Like King Solomon to his child your instruction was strict

Extra thick with knowledge, wisdom, self-respect and sophistication

So much emphasis placed on education and I thank you. I know I am special in your eyes
That I am sure, and I love you, I love you – I love you everyday Daddy, more and more

What lovely sentiment resonates from this poem. Daddys are special to their daughters because they are the shining example in our lives. Wonderful poem. Your dad must be very proud of you.

Wow! This is such a beautiful and touching poem. Reminds me of my own dad, you did such a great job relaying your feelings for your dad.

Very beautiful and touching poem. I was able to relate and feel every emotion in this piece. I am sure your dad bawled as he read each line of this poem. Well done!
