when i was just a little child,

with eyes of wonder why,

i would ask my father,

why does the star shine,

he would reply ,
because the night,

needs light,,,,

then i would ask why does the moon shine so bright,

again my father would reply,

because the moon is taking the place ,

of sunshine,,,

daddy,,daddy,daddy,

why is it darkest before the dawn,

my daddy would say,

it's just the way,

of the moon giving the sun the stage,

my daddy ,my daddy ,my daddy,

is the wisest man in the world,

my daddy ,my daddy,my daddy,

a lot of things he helped me to understand,


now,now,now,that i am a man,

with a daughter of my own,

with that same need to understand,

why,why,why,

she says --daddy ,daddy,

why do people treat each other mean,

i say because they've yet to comprehend ,

the true meaning of friends,

why?,why?,why?,

are there wars?

i reply human kind,

has yet to find the meaning of love,

daddy ,daddy, daddy,

why?,why?,why?,

don't you give them some of yours?

i just smile and said child,

because they must find their own,

peace lives inside of spirituality,

of ones soul,

i can't give what they will only ignore,

daddy,daddy,daddy ,
why,why,why,

i said mankind fate is sealed,

it's gonna take you my dear,

to carry on when i am gone,

remember to keep the love strong,

one day you will have children of ur own,

you must remember to pass the whys on,

why,daddy ?,why, daddy ,why?,

u needn't concern urself with the whys,

till Ur time comes,then you will know why,,

peace wisemanspeeks@protected aka wizthomo8

it is only because of the children we must keep love alive,
by striving to make this world better for all..

No my friend not just a father's day write but a real loving and concerned father who well knows the meaning of the word love and his family committment. A beautiful poem and another generation spreading love and knowledge. HUGSxxxxxxAnne

Yes, this is very moving and very thoughtful. Our children are precious and will continue to spread our love.

Wow, I love that! A very moving and oh-so-true, beautiful poem, Wizthom. I am thankful that my father used to set me on his knee and tell me things. Sam
