My Wedding Day

Missing image

My heart is broken i miss you so
Daddy why did you have to go

You weren't there on my wedding day
To walk down the isle and give me away


To hold my hand and dance with me
To give me your blessing and set me free
I miss you daddy in so many ways
You missed my wedding if only for a few day


You lay dieing as i walked down the isle
Holding my tears and trying to smile
You told me to go there was nothing i could do


So i went a head missing you
On my return your life had past

Dear God how long will this guilt last
I tried to be so brave but now


I stand here crying at your grave

    This is sad. Parents should be there on a child's wedding day. I don't know what I would do if one of my parents passed on before I ever got the chance to get married. I'm not really into the whole the father giving the daughter away, though. I'd rather walk down the aisle myself, but it is important for parents to be there for their children's weddings. Great write, though sad.

    This is a very well written, but sad event, my condolences We can't feel guilt for what is to be, or what will come to be...we can remember and charish all that was and hold them forever in our hearts. An emotional write, great form and rhyme, nice flow. Have a beautiful day, Ken IBT

    Aww!!

    Very sweet.
    I grew up without my dad, and I know how this feels. It's pretty terrible to grow up without a father. To know that all the other peers have one, and can do all these things with them..

    Very nice write!

    A very painful poem, some things that are left unsaid hurt the most. My blessings to your daughter. Good luck.

    Made me cry

    This poem is amazing. I felt like you were telling my story, only with a few changes. My dad left, not died, but its so painful to think of things like my senior prom in a couple weeks and my dad couldn't care less about receiving a photo or giving the practically required lecture to who ever is driving about safety. It hurts a lot, and I'm not sure if or when the pain will go away, but its poems like this that show me I'm not the only one. Thanks!

    Sad

    Very nicely written but quite sad. You did as your father asked you to do...you needed to go on with your life. There was nothing you could do for your dad. I know the pain is there, I feel it in your words. You did a great job in expressing that pain.

    Such an emotional and moving piece, more so when you think of your daughter and her love for hewr father. How sad it is that events laid out the way they did, but tell her to hold the good memories and he will always be there to make her smile. Wonderfully deep and sad write. Perfect flow.
    Best to you both.
    Love

    Awwwww I have never known the love of a father. Mine left when I was just a baby. I have had some contact in the last year but that is 47 years later. It sounds like you and your dad had a wonderful relationship and that he loved you very much. This write brought tears to my eyes. My dad was not at my wedding either.

    Oh how sad. I can understand her pain. I think her dad would have wanted her to go ahead with her wedding, and he was there in her heart, and still is. She should not feel guilt, but I can understand that as well. Great write.

    Heatfelt Poem

    Hello Ricky, Your poem was very beautiful and so heartfelt. It expresses the feeling of loss when a parent can no longer share in those special moments and all the little everyday monments of our lives. Thank you for sharing. Take care, Sandy
