How do you learn to be a dad?
To love someone so small
There's no instructions
You either fly or fall

How do you begin to care?
Their hurt you can't ignore
They need some time with dad
To play, learn, and explore

What gives you that emotion?
To just break down and cry
As you marvel at accomplishments
That make you burst with pride

Why do you work so hard?
To provide a loving home
Doing anything just for them
Even as they grow and roam

Where do I get these feelings?
This sense to be duty-bound
No example for me to follow
For mine was not around

Maybe doing without mine
Made me come to realize
A "Daddy" is not a donor
But someone to idolize


Anybody can be a "Father" it takes someone special to be a "DADDY"
