You know, I've been thinking About the way my life has gone From the time I can remember until now And it seems that the only thing I can remember Was you standing there just a step behind Occasionally taking the lead when I needed it When I was scared and wouldn't do for me You never left though I wouldn't have blamed I put you through it all when I had no right You were all I had to scream at at the time I wasn't mad at you I was just mad at him And you were the only one I could see there He left me everytime things got rough But you stuck it out through the pain The once a year Daddy felt good at the time Even though I was used to the Daddy at home He'd say he loved me and then move away You said you loved me then moved downstairs When he came back again you got hurt once more He said he was my Daddy and you were to leave He would love me and you could not again Then he started his story again But I can't let you go away for good When you never went away from me before I let him go out of my life today I told him he wasn't doing this to me again You are the one I want from now till forever Daddy ain't my Daddy no more. . . This was written after my son and I had a very long talk this past weekend. (ok, ok... my step son, but after 10 years...) The words are completely his. Imagine all the People living life in peace...

Oh my, this one brought a tear to my eyes. What a story, and presented so tenderly. Hugs to you, dad. |

A good share...and a tribute to you... and all of the step-parents who have worn your shoes...and wore through the child's resolve that they wouldn't and couldn't chase you away... Well done sir! |

Ringo, you are a very good Daddy to your son....in every way that counts. If not, he wouldn't feel this way about you. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.  Heart Hugs, Ethel |

Brad - know I know what you meant in that other post . . . this is amazing - as always - and yes - a wonderful Father regardless . . . a father doesnt necessarily mean biological - a Father is someone who cares . . . nice job xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (04-03-2003 02:19 AM).] |

This was so well said. You've earned the right to call him your son. Sounds like you've been his dad all along. Wear it with pride. I hope that my own sons will someday realize that my husband (their stepdad) loves them just as much as you love your son. Tara |
