Some of my Favourite Poems. This is for poem lovers. They are always simple and short but carry so much meaning...deeper than lengthy words because they allow our thoughts and minds to wander as we try to paint a perfect picture of what the message carries... **Love For Fathers - Deserved.**

I love your poem, when I see your face there is a burning sensation i feel, miss you dad..the love you have for your father is just different
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much. Deeply appreciate your kind words.
Dear friend you are great poet I admire your words about father. He no doubt deserved all respect you mentioned. Moreover, your poem for your love is Charming my face. You have no doubt warm feelings for her. Happy Father's Day brother, have a good day.
Thank you so much my friend. I am always excited to read from you. God bless your heart.
Great poems Mr Ola, hoping to read more tomorrow. My favourite is the last poem...."unheard" I just love your play of words and how you captured in a piece; what some females actually go through. The poem had a sad ending indeed. And also, if only you saw how I kept checking the picture you used to write "when I see your face," hmmm, let's not go there .😂 All poems are lovely Sir, thanks for sharing these great piece with us.
🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂 Ella is a lover girl...now I know. Thank you so much, Ella. I am glad you enjoy these poems. Indeed, some ladies go through so many unimaginable things.
One thing I derive from the three wonderful poem is their good tune and rhythm
Yaaaaaay. It takes good eyes to spot that and you have good eyes. Thank you.
That's just the beauty of a poem, the rhythm brings out the besuty
I absolutely agree with you.
How amazingly you describe the feelings of the one who remains unheard and begins to feels comfort in her own company.
I am happy to hear that. Yes, I want to capture the essence of her troubles and how she kept to herself based on the way the society would judge her.
Pen spread the pure feelings of heart on canvas in shape of words. Amazing poems!!
Thank you so much, my friend. I am really grateful.
My favourite poem is daffodils which is written by William Wordsworth who was lake poet
Haven't read that one before and hopefully I should.
I love your poems and that one about Nigeria caught me more. Yes, I also think there's hope and that will come soon by God's goodness and grace. Anyways, happy father's day!🥳
Thank you so much, my friend. Nigeria is a funny country and I can only hope things get better...
It will, just keep the faith.💗
🤗🤗🤗
Am a big-time fan of poetry too, but for reasons deep within I don't write I just like seeing and hearing others pour out their sorrows and worries and emotions and I will be there to try and try as much as I can to get the sense of everything said. I don't want to start talking about Nigeria now because I know this is a poem, so let me just skip to love, ooh ooh I don't believe in love so yeah let's go back to fathers, the society we live in now gives women all the credits and the fathers get little or even none because they are considered men they just in to suck it all up and continue being men, but when the crisis in the family arises that is when they are seen and heard most of the time. So yeah Fathers happy men days to all the men and fathers out there.
Hahahaha I totally understand you wanting to skip the love and Nigeria topics hahaha. Yes, the roles of father should also be appreciated. We have acted too strong for too long that they would say it's weakness to have a man cry as if we don't have emotions too.
Having a father is the best sensation of happiness, and writing a poem is the best way of expressing gratitude towards our father on how much we loved them
I totally agree. They all deserved our love and appreciation for their wonderful roles.
There's nothing as sweet and beautiful as good poetry. From the fathers' own to the wailing about Nigeria's situation then shadowing into love. I just love it all. It's just like listening to a good mix of RnB soul while trying to sleep. Perfect dosage for a cold day!
Yaaaay. You enjoyed the dose and the mix... Hahaha. I love how you described this. Thank you so much.
😂 😂 I can't help myself Thank you for sweet dose! 😋
Hahaha I am glad.
Some of the thoughts pertains to a great father. This is profound in meaning and the only who knows every passage is the author. Honestly, I'm not good at interpreting poems. Their might have different views when other people try to interpret it. I appreciate this peace ola!
Thank you so much. Yes, I know how deep and confusing poems can be that's why I always make mine easy to read with simple words that wouldn't leave the readers lost.
So nice and creative I must say! Happy father's day to you sir🎉
Thank you so much, dear.
Father are very important in the life of many children they have so many responsibilities to play in the family, whereas the mother, Happy fatherday!!!!!! Nice poem from there, really love to read more about them
Thank you so much. I appreciate this.
Haha love it, and can I just say there are many I know who only are sperm donors. The end. Your words are always relatable. 😊
Yaaaaaay. My sweet momma is here. My night is made already. Thank you so much, momma. How is mum doing now?
Thank you and thank you for asking, dear. Tonight, me and Tia try to pamper her as she just sits on her chair ever since she came home from the hospital. She doesn't want to do anything just because she's not fit. We try to take her mind off what makes her feel bad. And Tia did a very good job today. I'm physically strong, dear it's just that emotionally I'm weak coz it's hard seeing her like this. But I'm focusing on her health now. I want her well.
God bless your hearts and Tia is always a darling. I am so glad you are trying to take her minds off it. I can only imagine how emotionally draining it must be for you, momma. I believe everything would turn out so great. Keep being strong momma...and never forget that you look so beautiful when you smile. Let your smiles heal mum and also give you hope to keep forging ahead knowing she would be fine.
I love your poem😊
Thank you, my friend.
