My Dad
October 11, 2010
In my eyes he’s the world’s strongest man
And the most respected man
Through-out the land
He works for his family
And works through his pain
And I feel proud
To bare his name
So I’ll raise my chin in honor
With dignity
And hope one day
He’ll be proud of me
Smile and finally shake my hand
I can’t wait for the day he pronounces me a man
Although I’ll never be
Half the man he was
I’ll try my best
Though it’s never enough
My dad
Hardest working dad
My dad
Yeah I’m proud to call him
My dad
And when they lay him in the ground
I’ll still be just as proud
Of my dad….

This is a really powerful poem that I know many young teenagers can relate to. You should be really proud of this peice. I know your dad would be really proud, too. Thanks for sharing this- i think it reminds us to sometimes try and see the world through our parents eyes. I would truly appreciate it if you checked out some of my work.
