Would You, Could You, Can You, Will You

This is a poem about my ex-fiance and our daughter together.

Would You, Could You, Can You, Will You

Would you take the shirt off your back

to warm your child's skin

would you neglect food

to fill her empty stomach

would you take out your heart

so hers can continue beating

Could you stop her pain and fears

from this honest world

Could you resist to let her go

When she marries to anotehr man, who will take your little girl away and make her a women

Could you bare to watch her in pain

While your grandchild is born

Can you be the father she's always wanted

Can you be there for her when she needs you

Can yuo allow yourself the heart wrenching thought of her growing up

Will you stand next to her when you give her away without shedding a tear

Will you be strong for her when her mother passes on

Will you just be a friend and father to her no matter what it takes

This is good. I noticed a couple words spelled wrong but that did not distract from the power or meaning you wrote. Great poem!

i was wondering if it was inspired by more then one person cause it seemed so, then read your description of it which made it clear... anyway interesting combination... like to see more
