As I contemplate what I’m going to write about for father’s day, I find this is one of the more difficult pieces I’ll have to compose. Not having a father growing up has left the holiday less than desirable for me.
Abandoned by my so called dad before I can remember, I’ve grown accustomed to find other ways to celebrate the occasion now that I have children of my own. After all, it’s now a very important holiday for my family.
So without further ado, here is my tribute to the men that have impacted little people throughout the ages leaving a positive impact on their lives, and what I dreamt about as I was a child.
He’s the first person to hold your tiny hand Bestowing courage when there was none Escorting you through difficult times in life More valiant than Superman He’s your fearless protector forever and ever The one person to count on no matter what has transpired Stronger than any other person in the whole wide word And you’d dare anyone to put him to the test You fly through the air into his arms Trusting that they’d catch you every time Which he did without fail He cares like no one else Holding you with strong arms Everyone else pales in comparison He’s the first man you fell in love with Holding a place in heart no other can fill Admiration and pride fills your soul And for no other reason than He’s your DAD…..
