Best Fatherless Poems

When a household is fatherless
desperation drips from weathered eaves
the children tend to grow wild as weeds 
slipping from rambunctious into mischievous..
People dismiss it as a faze-to be outgrown in time
but it often cascades into crime after crime
they do a little bit of time after time
years...

There once was a day I would watch every airplane.
Praying you was on it to come take me away.
As a child I wanted you around until the day, you actually came.
The day you came is the day my life forever changed.
I remember as if it...

My shelter from the storm
My Fountain in the wilderness
My Refuge and my Rock

High King of love, God of all grace
You have become my hiding place

My ever faithful God
A Lover to the loveless
Defender of the weak
The Healer of all brokenness
Restorer of my dreams

High King of love,...

Every time we end a fight
you plead for one last try.
You sit and talk of doing things right
while I just sit and cry.

But where were you when times were tough,
when I felt like giving in,
when all I needed out of life
was for you to think...

All the way to the hospital
I felt  your eagerness for life,
Your Impatience 
between contractions
For the show to go on,
Months in the preparation
This was your debut,
A final push 
The curtains opened, 
And there in the spot light
A star was born,
Encore, 
I wouldn’t have missed it...

Shame was simply seen after two fuse in.
Father! I called aloud for heaven's sake.
Sorrowed tears adhere to path with no chain.
Born days passed and shared were chocolate cakes.

Mounts couldn't reply, then anger aroused.
More often, callous is that agony.
Little one grew up with one special need.
Joy...

Fatherless inheritance 
Passed on through generations
As my father had a father 
Taken from a bullet 
Such engraved his name

That engraved his ability 
To translate the love he forgot
Through a remorse in loss
He died to 
Forgetting the ones my mother birthed

And so I forgot before I...

A little boy and little girl waited patiently day and night on what would be the perfect gift.
They both longed for someone who could lift their mother's burdens and take them on relaxing trips.
For years they watched their single mother sacrifice her happiness just to...

The man I will never know
A shadow
Not even a footstep to follow

No memories to rely
Fainted pictures
No reason to cry

Would I be what I am woe
Useless reasonings
For only God would know

My father has gone, passed from sight
Curse death for he hath won the fight

Why then do...

He told me “tell my son his father was a good man”, over and over.
He believed so I believed that the warmth of his last request would keep our hearts full until we
all meet again.
I hope heaven treats him kind; one of a kind that...

Being a Man doesn't mean you just are financially able to support you and your Woman (or has that tradition died too?) 
Being a Man doesn't mean, because you are a Man then therefore by default you posses all the authority in the household.

Fatherless

Faded pictures and moments of disguise. Wanting only the skies limit, for these words may appear to be quite timid, but where are you?  Pursue the pursuit of happiness, of just being one in life. Joy filled days and nights of all we could...

Thought I needed you 
Thought you were great
Thought you were going to
be there, but now it's
too late
Hoping and praying you
would get me out that bed 
and say there's another way

Come with me I 
thought you would say
Baby we family lets 
Pray
Lets hold hands lets
share grace

Now I lay me down to sleep
In my home that's really sweet
Had three large meals and a snack
There wasn't a hint of any lack
Comfortable shoes and clothes that fit
My heart's desires my money can get
Friends and family know my name
So many opportunities it's just insane
Doctors...
