#13 Daddy

I am 15 years old, and at the young age of 14 my father passed away very suddenly. I wrote this poem about 5 months after my father died. It involves memories, and love.

Daddy

by Erin O'neil

He was great
He was funny
When I needed it,
He'd dish out the money
He drove me around
From place to place
I will never forget his handsome face
For he is gone
His soul will stay
All and through
The night and day
He won't be forgotten
Not at all
I know he'll catch me
When I fall
I love my daddy
Through and through
For life to go on
This is my cue.

I loved this poem. It reminded me of my dad. I was 15 when my dad died. It was sudden for me and my family. I am soon to be 20 and its still hard for me to grasp that he is gone. That poem was excelent!

I read your poem and I know how much you miss your Dad, I can't even think of loosing my Dad and I get tears in my eyes. My Dad is still around and i treasure him like gold. You don't know what you have till you loose it.

i really liked the poem my ex stepdad died in april and even tho we did not live with him at the time nor my mom was not married to him at the time. it had a trenmendous impact on me. when he died i relized that he was really special to me he always cared and he never let me down i miss him and sometimes i get really tore up about. i think that its really cool that you can express a deep feeling of loss in poems.
