Fathers

Because of you,
You've taught me how to be
Myself,
And nobody who I'm not.

When I start to slip away,
You bring me back to my roots.

You've caught me when I've fallen,
You've helped me when I'm down,
You've helped me paint that loving face
With a smile: not a frown.

You are my role model,
You are my dad,
You are the one I come to
When someone makes me sad.


You used to come and find me,
When I would run and hide.
Now everyday I pray and hope,
You'll never leave my side.
