Dad, you raised me through the years,
You chased away my fears,
By myside you have stood,
Just like any good father would.
I know my teenage years were rough,
But you stood your ground and remained tough.
I'm sure for you, it was so unfair,
but your love was always there.
Through the years your love was shown,
To be a single dad, and raise three alone
Now look upon your three kids, and you will see,
The strong adults you taught us to be.
You are my hero, I hope you can see.
If not for you, I wouldn't be me.
So in closeing of this poem,
I hope my love for you is well known.
* this poem is for my daddy, who struggled on a daily basis to raise 3 kids alone after my mom died.
