Dad Poems
Unexpected
by Aarti Chawla
Nobody can love me like you,
Life without You is just like,
a Puzzle without a clue.
No win can beat this Pain,
I wish you could come again.
Breadwinner
by Randy Johnson
For many years, you were our family's breadwinner.
Your money paid for our breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
Because of my mental impairment, you continued to support me after I turned eighteen.
You could've outworked two twenty year olds, you were the hardest worker I've ever seen.
After twenty months of chemotherapy, you lost your fight.
Your battle with Leukemia ended six years ago tonight.
For the last two days of your life, you couldn't even reply to what people said.
When I received a call from my sister-in-law, she informed me that you were dead.
Your existence on Earth ended at around 10:20 PM.
One day I'll go to Heaven and I will see you again.

No Father on Father's Day
by Randy Johnson
I have no father on Father's Day.
Six years ago, Dad passed away.
Dad died at the young age of sixty-five.
Because of Leukemia, he couldn't survive.
I also lost Mom just four months earlier.
It was sad to have to see their deaths occur.
Dad died in 2013 and he was born in 1947.
When Dad died, his soul went to Heaven.

Fatherless Father Figure (30-12-2018)
by Hendrico Valentijn
You share your words, I cup my ears.
You shed your shell, I catch your tears.
When life goes awry, wisdom gives bliss.
I hold your face, forehead graced with kiss.
My words are calm, warm, and tranquil.
I'm gentle, understanding; tell me how you feel.
You're unburdened, cumbersome no more.

Dear father
by Julie Staugaard
Once upon a time
You were my favourite guy
But now, you only make me cry
Make me feel, like I’m not worth a dime
You were supposed to be my father
Where were you when I called?
I had to try harder
But you only ever stalled

We’re Never Ever Apart
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
I’m never alone
when you’re in my thoughts...
You help me decide
between my shoulds and my oughts...
I’m never scared
when you hold my hand...
You’re always with me
when we walk the land...

Sorry Dad
by Nupur Gautam
Sometimes I wish I could relate to all those poems and quotes,
I wish our conversations and hugs were more frequent,
I wish we could be more comfortable in each other's company,
And ask how our days went.
I know you said it all out of anger,
But I can't get myself to forget.
Those words of yours pierced through my heart,
They weren't meant to, I bet.

cartoonist
by Bogdan Dragos
Dad was fat all his life
Obese
He couldn’t do a lot of things.
Walk without special help
Bathe
Climb stairs
Sit in a normal chair
Drive a normal car
Sleep in a normal bed
And say “I love you, son.”
