about my dad

DOES DADDY

DOES DADDY

Does  someone know  how  daddy feels
when he calls  your name
Does  anybody know if daddy
Ever takes self blame

When you lay at home in bed
does daddy tuck you in
Til your fears succumb to peace
as the blankets brush your skin

Daddy's unconditional  love
tell me how it feels
Do  the kisses I have missed
really  make you heal

When you cry  late at night
does daddy hold your hand
Hug you til your tears subside
says he understands

Does he laugh at what you say
just to see you smile
Will he walk to find your love
no matter what the mile

Does he gleam with pride and joy
when you call his name
So all the others know you're his
your face in picture frames

When I look into the mirror
at times I see his face
The similarities we do share
they cannot be erased

Is daddy really Superman 
that fixes all that's wrong
Does he have a special place
where only you belong

I have to ask these questions
you see I'll never know
Can I share your daddy
to let my feelings go

I'll take your daddy for a  day
fill that day with years
Lend me just a part of him
his heart , an open ear

Then he's your forever more
the day until he dies
Then when asked what daddy  does
I'll need no alibias

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
