The Lord was giving you the words, you cried because of His nearness and loving thoughts. I enjoyed your poem/story about your faith in the Father, your love of the Lamb who will always come home. Blessings, Kay.

    Thank you so much for the review! And for the six stars! Yes, I was crying at the end of my daddy?s life and Thankful for the time God gave me and the grace to put it together to establish a strong bond with him before he died. Thank you so much.

How beautifully expressed and sincere. The complexities of relationships, the longing for love and acceptance, fear of failing or not being good enough are all common human feelings that are expressed in this deeply personal poem of a daughter wanting her Daddy's love. I'm so glad you found your path to the Father's unconditional love and mercy and it sounds as though you found some reconciliation in your relationship with your earthly dad too. So heartfelt.

well written
a great complete picture of the crux of the piece I would play with things like font in the future to help present the emotion of your piece. The stanzas work well together. Nice job

This nearly made me teary eyed as well. As a father to three adult children I have a troubled past. I'm thankful they are all in my life, but I lament on what could've been if I made better choices in my past.

Happy holidays, my friend. Enjoy bring daddy's little girl. I'm sure he is.

    Sadly, my daddy passed over to be with Jesus on Thanksgiving Day. That?s part of what prompted the poem. I am so blessed to have come to this understanding before he died. Thank you so much for the review!

This is a beautiful portrait and reflection on your relationship wi your Dad and your growth towards maturity and understanding. Stanza 3 and 4 are a little confusing - maybe you could clarify a bit. I enjoyed reading this. Its strength is in its authentic voice.

This is a wonderful piece. No one could blame your tears. Perfectly understandable. Growing up is hard and many times we just don't understand things or what we have until we're older.

This is a well-written poem from the heart. It is interesting how perspectives change over time, and then time itself teaches us new lessons. Your pathos is understandable and relatable. Excellent work. Terry.
