(I know that I have already posted 3 today but I JUST wrote this one and wanted to know what you all think before I send it to my Dad)

THE MAN I CALL DADDY

The man I call Daddy,
Has always been there for me,
From the time I was nine until the present, you see.

The man I call Daddy,
Has never once let me down,
When I needed him,
He was ALWAYS around.

The man I call Daddy,
We may not share,
The same hair,
The same eyes,
The same nose,
or the same blood even,
But the man I call Daddy is never leaven'.

You see, The man I call Daddy,
Is much more to me that any of the above.
For you see, He gives me something much better,
He gives me his love.

I once read a saying that said,
"Any man can be a Father,
But it takes a SPECIAL one to be a Daddy".


I truly believe that,
And always will.
Daddy,
YOU ARE THAT SPECIAL MAN, to me
and always will be you see.

A Daddy protects you from harm.
Daddy, remember the motorcycle
And what happen to your arm?
You protected me from being hurt,
Even when we kissed the dirt.

The man I call Daddy,
Sat up with me as a broken hearted teen,
On his lap and shoulder he let me lean.

The man I call Daddy,
Is always still there to give me comfort.
No matter what my pain or hurt.

When you say you are proud of me,
If you could truly know how happy
that makes my heart feel.
It means the world to me.
Daddy, It means a GREAT deal.

Daddy this is only a small piece of love
that I hold in my heart for you.
I am so glad Daddy that you
chose to love me too.

Thank you for letting me choose you as,
The Man I Call Daddy.

I LOVE YOU DAD!

such a perfect poem for a dad...
He must be   with this one
simply awesome

If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves
from which evolves the light...

Without the experiance of love where would we be?We would have no wonderful memories to cherish.With love it brings hurts and with hurts it brings bittersweet memories
