Father's Day

I tried to find a good poem that describes my relationship with my father, but couldn't find a suitable one. It just shows that my relationship with my father is indeed unique, that, nothing but my own words can describe it. Just check the word benefactor in the thesaurus and see what words can substitute it. Benefactor can be substituted with the words supporter, well-wisher, philanthropist, promoter, sponsor and backer. He's all that to me and a whole lot more.

My benefactor, My father

Memories fresh in my mind,
Clear to this day,
Of bedtime stories,
And pleasant dreams

A deep soothing voice,
A demanding presence,
A strong person,
That I’ve depended on,

Childhood memories,
Fresh in my mind,
Of waiting,
And of missing,

He goes away,
But always returns,
A pillar of strength,
A well of wisdom,

He guides me,
Supports me,
Ever so silently,
Ever so quietly.

Yet I know,
He’ll always be there for me,
My benefactor,
My father.

Love you.

To poem enthusiast, critics and analysts, this is to remind you that:
1. I’m not a professional poet, so don’t try to be too analytical of this poem
2. If you don’t like it, tough! It’s for my father not you!
