(.2) Daddy Comments

I agree with duncan. This a poem that every other person could relate to, and I'm one of them. you should check out my poem, Daddy?

This is very deep because this poem is very real to a lot of people including myself. I hope I am never the dad you write about in this poem. If this is about your dad then you should know that he missed out on a special girls life!

Don't learn to hate him, just learn to love yourself more Love duncan X

Daddy has a special little girl with a Big heart and a keen eye for poetic justice Love duncan X

this poem is really painful, I hope you will be alright.

i feel your pain, i have been through that too, but i have met my dad and he hurt me really bad, i know how u feel though, ur not alone. sincerly, kat

My relationship with my father is and was very different (cf my poem Flying a Kite With My Father) , but nontheless, this poem sang to me of deprivation and made me thankful. Told with a detachemt that belies the message, this poem is a good piece of work that highlights a serious modern problem of absent parents.

Amanda, this is WONDERFUL stuff. The interpretation is not bitter as much as it is factual! Perhaps he is afraid that his absence and ill-behavior has left a mark unforgiving. Sometimes 'Daddy' can make some dumb decisions that aren't easily erased. Maturity has a way of allowing an explanation to be explored. Unfortunately, memories are what they are...MEMORIES! Congratualtions for sharing this with all of us. I agree with Isabel. L

This describes my life and many others keep writing!
