It was written in the stars
A boy I was ''supposed'' to be
To carry on your name
For all the world to see

But instead of blue booties
and dreams of bats and balls
You were instead given a daughter
Pink bows and barbie dolls.

But no matter what my gender
You loved me through and through
destined to become a tomboy
With a little help from you.

You taught me everything you could
Mow the lawn, wash the car
throw a football, run the bases
and wish on a shooting star

For the little time we spent together
You showed me your true soul
Although you didn't do it often
I learned that you were whole.

The woman I am today
Can thank the barefoot tomboy in the past
And also my Dad...
I know I grew up fast.

I hope you are atleast a little proud
And know I give credit to you
For my ability be so strong
Me and Dad- A bond forever true.
