Looking back now it’s not hard to see Starting when I was only 2 or 3 Not knowing what was really going on But never the less I had two parents “Mom & Dad” Years go by, I made friends, some keep asking me Who is that man? Not having the same name as I, looking nothing alike I hold my head up high and say he is my dad. My dad, I ponder But biologically not holding us together. So many people say to me you are only what’s in your genes. Look back and see with me What he gave me and how much I am him, Bullheaded is not only me, but us together can you see Taking on a little girl only 2 or 3 How can people not see even though he was not there to share in my birth He has shown me so much and gave his life to me My dad He taught me money, love and life Even though I may not have listened then Sharing only what he thinks is best All the years growing up trying so hard not to be like him, Young girl pushing herself away for her father To find all the answers herself I want to say even though I may still push you away at times You are my father and I am part of you even If you did not help bring me in to this word You have given me so much I see now how much I am most like you On this fathers day I want to say thank you For taking on that little girl only 2 or 3 And stating by he side for 24 years and so many More to come With all I am and all you are We are more alike then We may admit to each other But I love you and I know you love me too Thanks you again Happiest of Fathers day to you MY DAD |

Thinking, from what you've said, he is going to love this, but turn away a little so that you don't see the moisture in his eyes. A very loving tribute!  |

What a lucky girl you are.... This is a wonderful poem!!!!! Bridgette  "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." A. Brink |
