Daddy don't cry for me......An emotional audition
I just saw an audition
the girl had to sing a song
for her 'dying' dad
who was
present in the audience
along with her mom
even the four judges cried
a poet must have the vibes
of being calm and silent
but the audience
should shed tears
weep loud enough
for the softest ears
then sing a chorus
what ever will be
will be
what ever will be
oh daddy don't cry
she won the emotion
now you try singing one

You got ME right in the heart. For a second, I thought you were referencing that girl on American Idol that sang about her dad with him watching, and it was a very emotional moment for all involved, but when I saw "dying" dad, I knew it wasn't (I wanna say he had just recovered from alcoholism). What show was this?

yes
same show I saw on tv recently
I changed the title
Someone liked this
but later mentioned
the guy really died .
So i couldn't then cry
She was naturally emotional
she won
so she cried
the audience also
I hope you liked it
what an irony maybe

hello,
I've read this poem twice, the first time I read it I didn't have the time to respond. very poignant. It reminded me of my Dad...he died when I was eighteen...I took it very hard. as usual you strike a chord with your fine poetry. thank you for this.
