Daughter Poem by Scott Austin

Daughter

Rating: 3.6


For the love of daughter
That I cherish as a father
The daughter I prayed to God for
Those many years ago
My heart is sad and lonely
In this place that I call home
We have experienced some good times
We have gone through some bad times too

For the love of a daughter
The girl I always wanted
The daughter that I love so
The one who filled my life with joy
The one that filled my heart with pride
The one who has no way of knowing
The tears that I have shed
I can only wonder what I have done
That has turned her heart so cold

For the love of a daughter
There will be forgiveness
As precious as she is
To this Father’s heart
I can only love her
As much as I can

Scott, I hear the despair in your words and the pain of your estrangement, but your last couplet speaks the sad truth: 'I can only love her As much as she will allow me.' Time is a great healer. Never give up hope. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxx

For the love of a daughter… wish we had all the perfect answers… best of luck and when she does return, hold on to her and tell her how special she is. As a father of two, I also wrote a “Daughter” poem too.
