Oh Dad, on this fine morn, let us go for a walk
On the way you can meet your friends and talk
The road is quiet and the meadows wide
All you need is to keep your gloom aside

A great poem depicting a daughter's concern for her father. Depression is a serious concern in old age. Well-done dear poet sharing with us all.

This is a beautiful poem with sensitive depiction. I feel the following lines impressive. The love you lavished on us, we can never forget Your present lackluster spirit is all that we object Don't sit here so lonely, brooding and yawning Come on Dad! Let us go for a walk this morning! Thanks for sharing.

Valsa you've captured perfectly what it is like for children all over the world to try to help a depressed apathetic parent with low motivation to regain some of their former glory and live again. I hope many children and parents read this poem to help them with such tasks.

A lovely penning remembering Dad for his love and affection and at the same time taking teachings from loving Dad to implement those steps in own life. Truly a fruitful walk with pleasure and ecstasy.

A heart warming poem where the daughter extols her father by citing his past and thus encourages him to face the world. A excellent poem in every sense. I beg to differ with people who term rhyming poem as outdated. We should recognize the fact that in rhyme there is music, though I would in the same breath add that blank verses and other forms of poetry too have their own intricate merits.

It's not merely a daughter's love for her old father, it's a rhymed description of old age as well. Valsa is a laconic poetess....................10

Somehow, this re-eminded me of that Mohanlal movie where the father succumbs to Alzheimer's.

Inspiring the aged father for a healthy life and boost his confidence of life the theme of this poem. This poem having importance to almost all readers and I have also experienced similar emotions and giving a hand to my beloved father who is no more and asking him to treat as a walking stick of me while he hesitated for an evening walk with difficulty. Great poem.

Love of Dad is ever memorable. Going with Dad in a walking makes this very special and provokes to think about childhood days. Really wonderful presentation makes this special poem.

ageing, reclining in retirement. i will read others of your work. the rhymed couplets are really old style & boring to me, sorry, don't mean any disrespect. arthur patrick budke (message to poet page: your programming is incorrect. eg this poet has 15,000 or more pooints, yet it says on her page no activity; personally i don't like poetry slamming, nor the north american format of competition for most everything. poetry is to be read, quietly alone in print or to be heard as a live reading. this is classic old school & open for criticism.
