Candy Cotton Dreams

Daddy picked his cotton Six scorched days a week Sundays were sunny gleeful Cotton candy I held in hand He took me to the county fair Pink and pretty as could be Balloons hid my child's tears for the days he toiled away My daddy loved to toss me high up in the air he'd yell, I love you My pink beautiful butterfly Ferris wheels and chocolate pies Sundays truly I the pink happy butterfly One day the balloons all popped Daddy grasping heart Tumbled to the ground there are no more Candy cotton dreams only Somber clown tears

How sad and unhappy a child can be when his/her father dies cannot be felt by those who have not been through it ! It is an experience that never leaves the person in question no matter how old gets. I know it because I have lived it! Welcome my friend. Hope you stay with us and share your poetry! God bless you!

I love this poem - the way you made the fair experience an analogy of your life with your father.
