Your version:
Gentle Heart, Soft Spoken,
Tender kid, wonder Dad,
He smothers me with his words,
He pampers me with his looks.
Full of admiration, Seeks inspiration,
Occasionally Naughty, Expressions faulty,
Gives me 100% rights,
But he exercises the authority
~~~~~~~~~~
My version:
Oh Dad!
You smother me
with your kind words
creating this tender kid that I am/
You pamper me
with your gentle heart,
with the wonders of your looks.
Oh Dad!
I admire you,
for you are the authority figure.
You inspire me,
for you give me 100% rights
to do the right things.
You are full of advice.
Whenever I'm wrong
You teach me right.
Oh Dad!
You are great!
I love you!
Well, that was just my suggestion, take it or leave it. The poem is yours.
