very moving.
Though you don't mention God, I'm assuming that's who you're referring to as having shown you the way. And, if that is a picture of you and your father, you can clearly see the love for you in his expression.
I can understand that this was a hard piece to write, but apparently you did a good job, as you won All Time Best. Congratulations.

I'm pretty sure you were always daddy's cherished little girl in his mind, because they love just because:-)
An open and honest look into your heart through your poetry. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a lovely tribute to your father. I hope you have shared it with him. The text is a good side. The message is clearly stated and easily understood. The text takes the reader through the misunderstandings, your rebellious nation and growing pains. I am glad you were lucky enough to come out on the other side and heal. My child was also rebellious and was dead by 22 years of age. This poem touched me for that exact reason. I could imagine her if she could do it over again saying what you said in this poem. The visual fits perfectly.

The author's words are filled with love, are descriptive and creative. I
found these words seeing beneath the surface and loving her Dad deep
within. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork goes well with
these words. The author's words have touched my heart!

Hello, Belinda, you could had written this poem about me. I loved my dad but there were things he did that made me angry. Recently I thought about him and all the good things we shared and it made me cry. He died in 2006 but I carry his memories in my heart. Well done! Happy new year!

Thank you so much. This poem was inspired by my dad?s death and our journey together. He died on thanksgiving day.
Comment from LJbutterfly
Parenthood is difficult. No one ever tells you how to do it. Each child is different and parents have to learn by trial and error. It's most difficult for a man to know how to be the perfect father for a girl. Is he too tough? How is he suppose to support her when he's not sure what she needs?
Your poem speaks to all of these things. A little girl has no idea what a man feels. All you wanted was to be Daddy's Little Girl. In his heart you were.

This is a beautiful tribute to the complicated relationship you have had with your dad. This is a very personal piece and there is much here to unpack. But I do understand that you love your dad very much and this is very well written. Thank you for sharing.

Extremely beautiful, Belinda! It pulled at my heartstrings, and though I'm not a father of girls, I can only imagine the pain and seclusion you both must have endured. He yearning to be your father, and you, yearning to be his little girl. Beautifully written! Best, JohnC

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Aw, that was so lovely, Belinda. It's strange how many desperately strive to be something we already are. Your daddy always loved you, but it took God to intervene and show you. I can understand why you were crying while writing this, it so emotional and touching. I'm so pleased you found out you were Daddy's cherished little girl. :)) Sandra

A most beautiful poem, detailing your changing relationship with your father, and the influence of your Heavenly Father - on both your life and that of your father. You've obviously written this from the heart, and it is wonderful to know that the relationship was restored. That's so very precious.
