Daddy

A poem about one of the best men in the world!

He chased the monsters out from under my bed

Not to mention helps to keep at bay the demons in my head

When I bang up my knee and it begins to bleed

He's there to take care of my every need

He may not quite get my obsession with music, writing, and books

But he can always make me laugh with one of his funny looks

If I cry he's always there to wipe the tears away

He gives me the courage to soldier on through another day

He offers to beat up every boy and every school-yard baddy

He's the man I unashamedly still and always will call "Daddy"

This is a beautiful poem that inspired me to write the first four lines in another way that you may keep as a gift to keep as your own since most of the words in it are yours: Here I used /0/0/0/0/0 ten syllable meter where / is an accent and 0 is a non-accent: It sings with a cadence when it's written with meter:

He chased monsters out from under my bed
while restraining demons inside my head.
Whenever I would scrape my knees and bleed,
he'd give me all the care a girl would need.

I am so grateful that I stumbled upon this sweet poem. A simple, loving piece about the benefits of being "daddy's little girl" - a gift I recall well. When I looked at the date this was posted, I see that you posted this on my birthday. So I feel like I was meant to read this - very nicely done!

I'm so glad you like it! Who knows, perhaps you were meant to read this, all I know is: I'm glad it brought you some joy!

This makes me think of my real dad when he was still around (he walked out on the family about 12 years ago) but he was an amazing dad. He would do anything for me. So heartfelt.
