Dad

To my father who gives me advise like a friend
always my mate until the end
when i was young i looked up to you and all you did
i wanted to be like you,be an adult but still be a kid
i now can see why you changed your ways
you still got my mum to love for always
she gave you a chance,stay or go
you made the right choice i guess thats so
we had our troubles i guess thats true
now we are older i still look up to you
when i saw you lying on that hospital bed
my world went in shock,i thought you could be dead
but you pulled through like you always do
and it gave me inner strength to survive too
now you moved away with mum by the coast
i can say I'm lucky that I've still got you both
although your a days journey away from me
you have no idea how closer in my heart you've become to me.
