Fathers Pride
Many years from this sad day
You'll hold your head up high
Walking proudly with your Father
Full of the reasons why
The reasons that you love him
For all the things he's done
That made you the special person
Who's smiles shines like the sun
He gave you the freedom
So you could find your light
Where you can love the whole world
But not be afraid to fight
For justice for the needing
When there's nowhere they can turn
As he gave you your empathy
Which forever in you burns
When he's old and tired
As your holding his arm
He'll smile deeply to himself
That he kept you safe from harm
Knowing that when he's here no more
He'll not be leaving you alone
As you'll be loved by all you meet
From the kindness that you've shown

Voted up and beautiful. A wonderful message for your daughter. Much enjoyed.
i think this is every fathers wish. We want to protect our children and know that in the end every ounce of love we gave helped shaped a good person.

Shauna, you are right (as usual) , I am sure Savannah knows that too, and she does love her Mum. That's for sure !! Just these are hard times for all three of us, and two of us want one thing and her Mum wants something else :(
For all she has done.... I still love her Mum too, but am a realist and this cannot be repaired, so Savannah's welfare has to be my paramount purpose in life now.

This is such a beautiful expression of fatherhood and a wonderful message given by a person who has compassion beyond compare. Thank you for sharing this fine work for all to read and appreciate.
I do not and cannot think of a nicer poem for a parent. Thank you
Simba..that's a great vision you have for your daughter, and one that I'm sure you will realise for her. Nicely done:-)
Beautiful message, Simba. Somewhere in her life, Savannah needs to also know that deep inside, her mom loves her. She's just having problems she doesn't yet know how to mend. Savannah's first 9 months were spent in mama's womb. That means something and should never be dismissed!
