For My Dad


I love you.

Because you

Haven’t left my side,

Even when I was two.

 

Even though you weren’t

Ready for a kid,

You turned into a man,

Yes, you did.

 

Thank you for all

You’ve done for me.

Money says you’re the best,

I agree.

 

When my mom couldn’t raise me

Because she didn’t know how,

You stepped up to the plate and became the man you are now.

<p>Oh, and &quot;Money&quot; is actually a nickname for my grandmother.</p>
