Poem: Ask My Dad How He Is

Poem: Ask My Dad How He Is
Category: Writing and Poetry

My Dad, he tells alot of lies,
He never did before,
But from now until he dies,
He'll tell a whole lot more...

Ask my Dad how he is,
And because he can't explain,
He will tell a little lie,
Because he can't describe the pain...

Ask my dad how he is,
And he'll say "alright",
But if that's really the truth,
Tell me why does he cry each night...

Ask my Dad how he is,
He seems to cope so well,
He didn't have a choice you see,
Or the strength to yell...

Ask my Dad how he is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping",
For God's sake Dad, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken...

He'll love me all his life,
I loved him all of mine,
But if you ask him how he is,
He'll lie and say "just fine"...

I am here in Heaven,
I can not hug from here,
So if he lies...don't listen,
Hug him and hold him near...

On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold,
I'll say "You're lucky to get in here Dad,
With all the lies you told".

    The majority of all these entries were written by Darrel's father, Stephen.  For those that are not, efforts have been made to give proper credit where it is due.

    The bulk of the posts are in the June 2011 Archives Section, as that is when I transferred them over to this site.  Category Tags should allow you to find entries easier.

    I've tried to correct spacing issues on many of the entries, as most of the older ones have been copied from different sites I've used in the past. I apologize if some have been overlooked.
