Tears In My Daddy’s Eyes
(Dad Father Poems)
He was always my pillar
when I knew I’d fall ..
Always my anchor
so strong and tall.
His hard face changes
only for me ..
His softer side
so careless and free.
He knows my dreams
are too big for this place ..
His little girl’s leaving
ready to begin her race.
He knows I’ll be thinking
of him wherever I go ..
I know I’m ready
to do this on my own.
But still I cry
and he holds me tight ..
He tries to be strong
not a tear in sight.
I’m ready to reach
for the stars in the sky ..
He’s ready to watch
his princess fly.
It’s time to let go
sure of a path to take ..
But now I know
even pillars can break.
For when I drive away
trying to stifle my cries ..
All I could see were
tears in my father’s eyes.
