My Daughter's Eyes

In my daughter eyes I'm a hero,
She can't see my fears.
In my daughter's eyes I'm strong,
She doesn't seem to notice my tears.

In my daughter's eyes I'm always right,
I could never make mistakes.
In my daughter's eyes I'm a genius,
She doesn't see how much it takes.

In my daughter's eyes there's fire,
She's the true hero of this tale.
In my daughter's arms I am strong,
For my love could never fail.

I took a walk with my daughter,
Then she looked into the sky...
The word took long to form within her head,
Then she asked the simple question "Why?"

"Why do the birds fly, Daddy?"
and "Why can't we?"
Then the question that tore through my heart:
"What's wrong with me?"

"Why can't you stay Daddy?
Why must you go away?
Is it that you don't love me?
Is that why you won't stay?"

Looking into her soft round eyes,
I could see past her tears.
The questions, they hung in the air a moment;
She had made me confront my fears.

"Darling" I told her,
"You've got to know just how I feel.
I love you and I'll do all I can,
And this promise is for real."

"There's nothing wrong with you sugar.
It's not that I want to go away.
But I've got another life in another place,
And I not ready to leave it today."

I was shaking as I held her,
How I wished that I could stay.
She had those same tears in her eyes,
When I stepped on the plane to go away.

In my daughter's eyes I'm a hero.
In my daughter's eyes I'm a friend.
In my daughter's eyes the great things I do
For her could never end.

Oh, I wish I were that hero;
And I wish I were that wise.
How I wish that I could Live up to
How i look in my daughter's eyes.

Very well written. We all want to be our children's hero.....being a parent is the most important job in the world.

Greetings, darchChylde,

I enjoyed reading both poems you have posted here. Sometimes it tough to be so in touch with our deepest feelings..... but a wonderful release to be able to express them as you have.

I belong to a poetry site online I think you might want to take a look at. It's free to join, and there are a bundle of resources included on the site for anyone who wishes to learn more about all types of poetry. It's very interesting and eye-opening to read other's work (and you can leave constructive comments for them if you wish), and to share ideas, knowledge and experiences. The site is Allpoetry dot com. I was going to include a link to my author's page there, but when I checked just now found they are down for several hours while they do an upgrade on the site. When you are able to access it, I'd be interested to know your impressions.

Thanks for sharing your work and feelings with us!

Regards,

budderflywings~

Thanks, zigg...

I'm glad you've been enjoying the poetry.... it's a great site! My own work is listed there under poet, 'Budderfly', if you're interested. (If you go to the 'help' section, you'll find a search feature for the site.) I left you a message on the main site of Collarme, also.

Regards,
