A man says to his daughter one day:
“Dear Alanna Lita,
listen to me,
you don’t need a life of misery,
You deserve
every wonderful thing
that life can bring”
By:J.N.R Dutton
In this poem, Alanna Lita is not a name, so much as terms of endearment. Alanna literally translates “beautiful”, whereas Lita means “joy” or “joyful.”
In the poem, the dad is referring to his daughter as “Beautiful Joy” .
A Dr. had a certain patient on his ward that was new, they’d never met before
as he got to know him more, the patient really struck a chord,
The Doc was struck first by the fact
that the kid was in a mental institution at only age eight
The Doc thought no kid should have so much on his emotional plate
that they end up that way
He knew it’s hard enough for an adult,
but a kid has got to be feeling crushed by so much weight
He knew parents should be there for kids, to carry them through,
that no child should feel like they’ve got no one to turn to

Darius was a driver of a diesel rig
His son said “Daddy,
I’m gonna be like you when I’m big”
Darius looked down @ the child w/a smile
Said, “That’s a great ambition son, but enjoy being a kid a while”

John Ray’s daddy was more than
a bit of a hot head
He’d scream & yell at times
till his face turned red
Punching walls till
his fisted fingers bled
John Ray said:
“man, I’ll never be that way,
Daddy, you scare me, you really gotta change
honestly if you don’t mind me saying
Sometimes you really seem kind of deranged“

I remember when my son was born I took a deep breath
Wondering how I would manage, I’ve got to confess
Some of those early days about scared me to death
when everything was so brand new
but somehow we made it through
We got a long way to go, but you know that’s alright
I know we can handle that too

I sometimes feel like I’m not being the rock
my son needs me to be
Honestly, hating myself for my flaws
can be so easy
but I work constantly
on the areas where I’m weak
I hope that he sees that I’m really trying
even though I stumble occasionally
By:J.N.R Dutton
My son will always know
That he’s got a home,a place to go
Both now and when he’s older
Mine will be a shoulder he can lean on
when he needs anything, from comfort to advice
As long as I’m alive, I’ll provide
An anchor in his life against the raging of the tides

What she protected fiercely wasn’t silver or gold
But something more precious, her children
Though she knew the world can be cold
She had the heart of a dragon,
a warrior’s soul
She fought with a passion
that was fiery & bold
Evil trembled in fear when
her mother’s instinct took hold
