Poem Commentary

This is the continuation of my poem, "A Life of a Single Mom".

Fatherless Daughter, Faith

I could barely remember my daddy’s face.

Even though I’ve tried to imagine his feature in so many ways,

The more I tried the more I failed to see the way he looked, back in the days.

 

I couldn’t remember exactly when and how

Searching for this guy became my vow

But there’s no way I’m turning back now.

 

It started when I was in third grade, or was it fourth?

When my teacher assigned the class to make a book report

In what ways mommy and daddy support the family and what are their efforts?

 

So I started asking every single thing about that man

But anywhere I go it seems that there’s no one around

To tell me anything and even Mommy wouldn’t tell me any detail I want.

 

“You were only four when that man left us.

He left us with nothing and that’s how bad that man was.

So stop asking questions; anything about him we should not discuss!”

 

Mommy always told these words to me

That’s how it is every time I ask her about my daddy.

Hating him this much is truly such a mystery.

 

Where are you now? Where are you hiding, man?

Why did you go? Why did you run?

Don’t you know that you have a daughter and a son?

 

I swore to myself that wherever you are I will find you

And even though Mommy didn’t give me any clue

I will do it my way; I will make it through.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
