Dad´s Birthday
It’s your birthday today
You are at work and I’m at school
We’re far apart, but you’re close to my heart
I love you, so I shout hurray
Regardless of what occurred, or how many misheard
You choose to love me for who I am
Showing your support with words
Providing your love to any in need
You are the warmth from a secure glove
Thanks to you I will succeed
I wasn’t the easiest child to raise, that I can admit
yet, you always provided me praise
I challenged you with many physical needs
Changing my diaper never added up,
To equal what would become to cost you fees
You have helped so much...
In my recovery
You walked with me down the path...
In my relationships
You held my hand...
In my grief
You cried with me...
Sacrificing all that mattered,
By putting your family first
To create a house full of laughter,
Without reciting a verse
When issues arrived at our front door
You stayed up all night
Making sure I was comfortable
Even if it meant you weren’t
Regardless of what occurred, or how many misheard
You choose to love me for who I am
Showing your support with words
Providing your love to any in need
You are the warmth from a secure glove
Thanks to you I will succeed
When I cooked you breakfast in bed
Your smile went for miles
You tolerated the burnt bacon
Then said I love you with a kiss on the head
When you and mom got divorced,
I was young yet
Living without you I was forced
To mature without my safety net
Issues brew in her house
The smell of beer
He was not always a good spouse
Fear always resulted in tears
But you were there every time
To catch me if I fall
You listened to what I needed
Then brought me back to my feet
Being with you is all I desire
Feeling your compassion
You are my comforting attire
Providing me protection
Regardless of what occurred, or how many misheard
You choose to love me for who I am
Showing your support with words
Providing your love to any in need
You are the warmth from a secure glove
Thanks to you I will succeed
