The Dad I Never Had
Dear Dad,
People will say that you can´t be my dad.
That giving you the title is the worst idea I ever had.
¨ He is not blood. ¨ they say,
¨ What has he done for you anyway?¨
Although you may not be my father by blood,
You are my dad by a bond.
Any guy can be a father
But it takes a true man to be a dad altogether.
You have been patient and kind
No matter how much I cried or whinnied.
Over the years I have grown
You always treated me as your own.
Even though we have our ups and downs
Through every smile, laugh, tear, and frown
You stood by my side when my father was absent
You decided to be the dad that was present
As I wake up in the morning and count my blessings
I think about you when I stare at the ceiling
I thank the Lord for the blessings from above
For the amazing dad that I will forever love.
Love, Shy
