Fathers Dilemma (Daughters Stages) Poem by louis rams
Fathers Dilemma (Daughters Stages)
she was brought into this world
as beautiful as can be.
played with her dolls - naturally.
a few years later she reaches puberty.
and the years are going by much to fast for me.
soon she becomes a teenage girl
making the rounds
and with her friends getting down.
listening to the music of her generation
moving her body, and feeling the sensations.
the teen years is when i worry
hoping that the years will go by in a hurry.
then she reaches womanhood
and life 'dawns on her' as it should.
all the do's and don'ts that i preached
she has finally gotten to reach
that stage in her life
that now she thinks twice.
now a full grown woman, and so much in love
planning her wedding, and using turtle doves.
a smile on her face, and joy in her heart.
getting ready for a brand new start.
being a newly wed with so much to learn
and old bridges, she has to burn.
now she has to WORK, COOK, CLEAN
and everything else in between.
she can no longer procrastinate
for it is 'much too late'.
a year later has come and gone
and her doctor hits her with the bomb.
you are pregnant, and a boy you'll bare
this is the news you have to share.
six months later out he came
a little boy and ' JAMES' is his name.
now she's gone through all the
stages that a female must do.
CHILD, PUBERTY, TEENAGER, WOMANHOOD
and now MOTHERHOOD.
and every stage she carried me through.
and as her father i will pray, and i'll love
her more than words can say.
and every stage she carried me through. and as her father i will pray, and i'll love her more than words can say....so sad stage a fatehr has to witness in life time...kids are so dear to us but painhey give is unbearable......i love the way it has beenpresented in original form....10 read mine donot kill me.......son.... papa do u know and papa u too..
Very sweet, nice and sensitive poem. No clue weather you had endured it or not, but you expressed it very well.
And the other side of the story is in the song, (Daddy, Don't Take The Girl) A good Daddy sure has a lot to live up to. A Journey of proudness along the way.
Your poem sums it all up on one page! There is a whole world written in just a few lines. Well done. Daddy's girl. A father's love for his daughter is heavenly. DC
a dad's poem...girl baby is definitely special to a dad....we grow up with them
