About the Poem

My father passed away in Oct. of '98. He was a wonderful man, and I'll always remember him. That is why I wrote this poem. To tell others of how was.

Daddy

I once knew a man,
Who gave love at his best,
Who did what he believed was right.
I once knew a man,
Who suffered uncontrollably,
Who found out how much he was loved.
I once knew a man,
Who gave everything he could,
Until he couldn't go on.
The man I once knew,
I will always remember,
As my daddy.
I love you wherever you are.

Hey, I know the feeling my dad passed away on Friday the 13th of January 2006, I miss him so much. When he died i thought it was the end of the world until i remember what he always used to say it was "everything happens for a reason chook, people die everyday. It may not seem much to you until you lose someone you love and after time the pain seems to lesson" I was 13 years old at the time and I thought there was nothing worse in the world but its always to remember the good things and it does help, it may not fix everything but it definately helps a bit. Your very inspiring and keep writing. about anything. your feelings, things that happen, anything because you have a knack for it =]
