Ok, so what do ya think?

I'm looking thru a box my dad just sent me


Filled with hand me downs


And things he once wore


He passed along his blessings and his curses


But Mainly scraps nothing more…no, nothing more


And I pray to God his shoes will never fit me


And I pray this isn’t my inheritance


His dirty t-shirts


And all his girlfriends mini skirts


Are the things I now resent…Lord I resent





Old man didn't give me much more than


Second hand clothing


But Jesus wants more for me than


Second hand clothing





I spent my lifetime dancing with his demons


They’re constantly comparing him with me


They tell their lies


As they look into my eyes and say


"Apple doesn't fall far from its tree"…and I pray, oh Lord not me





Old man didn't give me much more than


Second hand clothing


But Jesus wants more for me than


Second hand clothing





So I put away this box that I was given


Nothing in it meant that much to me


I have outgrown these hand me downs


And now I know that God gives me everything I need


Everything I need now





Old man didn’t give me much more than just second hand clothing


My God has more for me than just second hand clothing

Ok, so what do ya think?
Good poem...





The theme of 2nd-hand clothing fits the poem well. It seems you're outgrowing your hand-me-downs in the poem.

Reply:I dig this!!!





It read as a song. Is it meant to be a song? Great job. Love the story telling aspect. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and with that writer may have some of his fathers traits but everyone is their own man and with GOD's help there is always room for improvement. Great job!!!
