Della
I came across the Creative Writing Photo Challenge on Lady Nightwave Brenda’s Blog. It looked like a lot of fun and decided to join in. What you need to do is to choose a photograph and then write a poem or short story about it.
You can follow this link to see Lady Nightwave Brenda’s post.
This is a photo of my Dad, since I already dedicated a poem to my Mom earlier this month I decided to write one about my Dad as well.
Don’t be shy of your freckles
You may feel like an ugly duckling now
But someday you will grow into a beautiful swan
When I was a toddler
My Daddy told me
Listen to your teacher
Do your homework
Don’t be naughty in class
Shine like a star, then you’ll go far
When I was a little girl
My Daddy told me
Don’t lose you heart too soon
Enjoy your youth first
Work hard, play hard
But find your passion in life
When I was a teenager
My Daddy told me
Find your passion in life
Work hard, study even harder
Never give up
When I was a young woman
My Daddy told me
My Daddy taught me
Life lessons in a way
I will never forget
Sometimes through a game
Sometimes through a song
But the biggest life lesson
Out of them all
When I asked my Daddy
What was his life’s goal
My Daddy told me… To be Happy.
Anyone can pick up the challenge, so come on, pick a photo and start writing your story.
A very nice piece Della. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I am also a father to two adult girls, but surely I will not be able to be the best father to you like everything your father has done to you to be the best. This is an amazing post, Adel. I love it!
Thank you, Albert. Nobody can replace my father, I am very lucky to have him as my dad and I am sure your girls feels the same way, but you are doing really well as Mentor.
Whaaaat? Is that a compliment?
Okay! That’s a high appreciation!
Thank you…
Hehehe, my pleasure Kind Poet Master.
What a wonderful father your dad must have been. What wise advice he gave you.
He still is, I can go to him for advice at any time and I know I will feel better afterwards.
That’s wonderful. I’m glad he’s still with you.
What a beautiful poem about your Dad. This brought tears as I recently lost my Dad.
And gives me an idea. Thank you!
I am so sorry to hear that, Carol. Please accept my condolences. I am very intrigued to find out what that idea is…
Wonderful poem, you are very lucky to have a father who cares so much!
Thank you Doc. I am indeed very lucky to have my Dad.
Yes you are! That is an important relationship! Plus, (well in my humble opinion) dad also has the very best jokes!
Hahaha, that’s true. And the gift of revealing all the embarrassing stories about our childhoods.
This is such an awesome poem. Thank you!
Thank you so much my friend. I hope I will be reading yours soon 😉
