My father

 

My Father

by Rachel Roberts

I have a man in my life

Who has taught me more

Than most and loved me more

Than any

He has taught me

Math that makes

My head want to fall off 

He has loved me

Enough to take

Me to hot and dry

Deserts and tall

Mountain’s tops

 

He has taught me

Boys are best Avoided

I’m still not

Sure he is right

Some days I am none

Too happy with him

Some days I know

He is my best friend

But I’m always his

Girla

I’m his girla because

He has treated me

As such

In a crew of motley

And rude brothers

When I’m brought

To tears he is there

To love me and treat

Me like a lady

Love my sweet

Father, dad, and friend

Love your girla
