Dad

I know it’s not often enough I share with you Dad; Seems long ago, when I was young; I looked to you for guidance and love; I listened to you; Relied on you; And craved for your attention. And as I grew, you stood patiently behind me, Allowing me to stretch my wings; Test the waters, And make my mistakes. Thank you for loving me as you do; Enough to let me take a fall While you waited in the sidelines; Enough to watch quietly As I matured and learned. It may not be often enough I share with you Dad; But thank you for being the father that you are; A father whom I am proud of … A father I can still turn to for guidance and love … No matter how old I really am.
