Hey Wise Writers! I am going to continue with the theme of family. This is the last poem I will be sharing about family. This poem is about my dad. I am very close with him and I enjoy sharing my love for him through my writing. This poem is called If You Were to Ask.
If You Were to Ask
If you were to ask me about my dad, I would say he is the best dad a girl could ever have.
But... if I were to give you a deeper understanding, I would say
He shows love not only through his words, but his actions too.
He never wants to be the center of attention in the room.
He works tirelessly every day to provide for his family.
He brings life to the room just by walking in.
He is the life of the party.
Although you would never know it.
He protects his children from this evil world.
In spite of not always being heard.
He is the most selfless person I know.
It is him that we adore.
The inspiration for this poem was Eleven’s speech about Hopper in Stranger Things. I am so blessed and fortunate to have a beautiful, loving relationship with my dad. However, I know it is not common anymore and that makes me sad.
If you don’t keep in contact with your dad or don’t have a dad, I want to give you a piece of encouragement. Jesus is the best father. Run to him when you are struggling and feel lonely. He knows our hearts and desires. He knows every thought before we ever bring it to Him.
