Dear Dad

This is a poem I wrote for my Dad's birthday. I didn't think it was very good but he seemed to like it, so I thought why not upload it?

Dear Dad,
This is your special day
And I looked upon the calendar in dismay
When I realized it was only weeks away.
So there I stood and sat and thought
About what
Could be the best gift to give
A man who appreciates, values,
Cherishes and enjoys arts
And creativity
More than anything
Did I mention he could sing?
So my mind darts
Races and thinks.
I write in a hurry.

Dear Dad,
You only deserve the best
And I didn't give my brain a rest
Until I found some wrapping paper
(Many more weeks later)
To fit a gift of any size
But I could not rise
To this expectation
Thus, I wrote with resignation
A bloody poem.

So I've been spending
A lot of time on
Planning (very bold)
and swift
Your very special gift
I hope you like it.

Lots of Love,
From Lily
