Here's a poem I wrote for my father for his birthday. We've been through rough times but I still love him. This poem's for him.
Almost three years have past And we still managed to last I want you to know one thing That we will be everlasting I know life hasn't treated you well Put yourself out there and tried to sell Just me, you, and different girls Life put is in a big whirl
What I did was pretty low I saw the pain in your eyes But you're a proud man and didn't let it show When you're down, look towards the skies Chances are I'm looking there Just know I love you And leaving home was a lot to bare And I know it hurt you too
So happy birthday, Dad And this is me telling you Don't let life make you sad or mad I love you
A powerful poem. Hard not to hurt the good people in a life. Sometime forgiveness is a easy as re-entering the door you left. I like the emotion and the ending. Forgiveness and love is the key to a good life. A excellent poem.

Well done no errors as far as I can tell. Awe that was so sweet and Father's day so close too. Well done I could feel the emotions of love in your words. You descriptions and words of metaphors and similes played wonderfully. Well done and keep up the excellent work.
All I can say is, "Wow." I decided to give this piece a try because coincidentally, today is my own father's birthday, and to be completely honest, if it wasn't for that fact alone, I most likely wouldn't have even bothered with reading it. However, I certainly am glad that I did, as it turned out to be a more than worthwhile (if also quite short) read! The second stanza is what grabbed me the most, my favorite few lines specifically are:
"When you're down, look towards the skies
Chances are I'm looking there
Just know I love you
And leaving home was a lot to bare
And I know it hurt you too"
