Hi everyone. this is my very first attempt at writing anything, I have journaled some, but have not tried writing. I have always thought it would be fun to do. Please don't hesitate to tell me how you really felt after reading this. I would appreciate it very much and what a better place to get my feet wet than ATS?


Always a daddys girl
my thumb around your finger
said i could be anything
I could ever dream
Said I was smart
pretty and kind
Would always be your little
poopsie pal
Your getting older
I can see it in your face
How did you get so wise?
Oh the knowledge I wish
I could have gotten from you
all these years
Maybe its been there
I just havent found it yet
Or don't see it
Its often said that one mans knowledge
is another man's weath
I met a man, my husband now
who is loaded with intelligence
He who reminds me so much like
you in many ways
I hope I can find the ways
to keep him happy
and above all else encouraged to
keep learning and growing
and to share what he knows
to all when he can
We all make mistakes
some never to be forgotten
or forgiven
Please know I have always loved you
even when I did wrong
I love you Dad

That was lovely. I guess most of us can relate to this in one way or another. Well done.

There are all sorts of craziness in peoples lives their past experiences and crazy poltics and accidents and chaos, but I liked your poem its nice to just relax and hear something calming and beautiful.

Very moving poem and your father should be very proud of you! There is nothing more important in this world than for a child to have a father with whom they can rely upon for wisdom and protection. I feel sad for the children that lack that crucial component in their lives. Thanks for sharing your writing with us and look forward to reading more in the future.
