Father’s love
their daughters too
It is with
great pride that I say I love my little darling girls; even now they are not
little anymore, but women. In my heart
they will always be my little dears, I
have not always been the best person that I know, as a matter of fact I could
have been a better father in some ways.
And as I look back there are some things that all fathers wish they
could have changed, and as your daughters choose their life mate; I think that
we fathers, wish there was a law that gave us the right to choose the best man
for our loving daughters ( I am working on that one J).
Now please
let me say that I am the one to judge me, and I do so harsh enough; some may
say that I do it more harshly than I should.
I do not look to you for approval or disapproval; my daughters are the
ones whose thoughts matter only, but I have invited you to this arena not for
you to speak, but to listen. I employ
some latitude to voice this opinion of myself and shed light on my love for my
daughters. We, are truly fathers because
deep within we would love to have given all the best to our little girls, and
if given the opportunity, they would never be wrong and the world is ( I know
that I speak as a person who needs therapy) but we know that we sometimes have
to tell them no; but it so hard for us and good fathers find some way to do
it. I am so sorry of the things that I
could have done better and missed the opportunity. And girls I failed you because I was not able
to give you everything that my heart desired.
Forgive me!
Now let you
wondering eyes rest, because I speak not to the Handsome boys or young men that
I also have; but to my beautiful girls and I now say that your brothers I have
you in mind also but this is the day gage to your sisters, Dad has not
forgotten you.
Daddy loves you (my girls) and wishes the
world to know; and so here goes “I LOVE YOU”!
You are so special to me and if I could hug you each day and all day, I
would! But I must let you try your wings and fly, as all fathers should. But if you have never seem Daddy cry
before, then feel these words and know
each day, that I can’t fight for you, or each hour that I can not hold your
hand when you cross the busy highway of life and each time a tear falls from
your eye and I can’t catch it before it drops.
I shed a tear and believe you me your Daddy cares and cries for you.
So when the
world gets a little cold remember that you Father’s heart is warm and my arms
ache to hold you and protect you, because no matter what anyone says, this old
man loves you. My dears I do love you
and if you ever feel no other does, this Daddy loves you and you will always be
my little Girls.
Daddy loves
you,

I hope that his poem, will stand through the test of time, everyday expressing my love for my daughters and for other fathers' love to their daughters for years to come.
Letter of this father’s Love
Get that cursed light out my
eyes!
So that I may see, you all and
tell this tale,
Of how, that I!
Stand here in love with my
daughters both,
And only care that there eyes
behold me!
As their father in good stead and
in a precious way.
My walk is only for them and
not for you;
If I fail them, then I fail
me,
Then on this earth, I am finished,
I am through!
Daughters, I will toil this
life God has given and hold your faces high,
As the method to my madness,
and forever do try,
Sleep my children; Daddy has
gone to be back in just a little while,
I learn my best, to find my
self approved;
But to none, other than my
darling dears,
It is with you, that make me
merry,
And you that make me care!
And I have no other desire but
to you my two darlings fair,
This note is all about how
much I really care!
So if I die within the night
and before tomorrow’s light,
I hope that this would be,
An enlightening epigrammatic
pause, to shed some light,
That while, your father lived
his life, each breath did bear your name!
So now I hope you go your
merry way, and also love your children well,
And say to them even though my
father, whom I really did not know,
Had worn his heart on the
outside his chest,
And shouted to the world he
knew;
My Daughters, - - - I love
them well!
