Papa Smiles & He Knows He's Done Right

Image Source
Papa smiles and he knows he's done right
The years are short and the nights so long
He wakes and forgets
What it was he did wrong
And new days come round
As they tend to do
But Papa's smile remains
Like a love that is old
It's a gift meant for you
In his frown there's a fear
That lasts through the weeks
You can see through the doubt
But hope will win out
And the smiles return
When Papa's smile comes back
You can feel the weight lift
But it's the love in his eyes
Cause he knows he's done right
That lifts up the world & sets it alight
It couldn't last long
He knew it, he felt it was so
The sadness he hides
He still can't let go
But darkness subsides and gives up the fight
Then Papa smiles, and he knows he's done right


This is really sweet and at the same time beautiful in a more serious way.
Amazing!
Thanks @isa93. :)
This poetry is very well structured although I know nothing about poetry in the first place. Well done it was definitely worth my while inalittlewhile. 😁. Get it?
Haha @amarbir. I don't really know anything about poetry either. I should probably read up. I know hycoos from school, but can't remember the form. It just kinda comes out. :)
Ooh I see. 🍌.
Enjoyed i did.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. :)
Wow very impressive poem upVoting
Thank you. :)
Ohhh I just got goose bumps!! Love it!! Is that you and your beautiful son??
Oh no @steemsausage. That's from Pixabay. I don't have any so perfectly photographed. Lol. :)
Sorry dude - poetry isn't my forte. Truth be told I really, really suck at it. As soon as I see a poem my eyes glaze over and I can't think. Haha. I did come here to upvote you and show you some support though because you've been so good to me :)
Lol @raymondspeaks. That's pretty much the same affect I was going for had you been able to read and comprehend the poem anyway.
Haha. Just joking. I'll probably feel the same way if I go back and try to read some of my own poetry. It's kinda how I was feeling that day.
Thanks for your support. You know you got more of mine coming. :)
Well written. I think I'll call my dad now. Lol
Haha. Hey, you caught the other part of the poem that is only insinuated. :)
Thanks!!

That such a lovely poem, thought-provoking!
Thank you @kimmiecfields :)
This brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful poem. I've watched my husband struggle at times over the years, wondering if he was doing the 'dad' thing "right" and you captured this so wonderfully.
Great post!
