My Dad
My dad is really very tall
Next to him I’m kind of small
The one thing I most recall
With dad I never felt short at all.
My dad has a voice that’s very loud
It can be heard in any crowd
Distinct and clear, one not to shroud
I inherited it and we’re both proud.
Both of my parents liked to sing
Sharing the joy that music brings
And from my dad I learned one thing
The rhythm of music is a good feeling.
My dad, he also likes to dance
Nothing too special, kind of a prance
If you stopped and took a glance
He’d be feeling the music in almost a trance.
My dad will offer his good advice
Only if needed without thinking twice
The wisdom he has is really nice
With the integrity to more than suffice.
My dad’s always been so proud of me
With so much confidence and surety
In anything I wanted to do or be
Keeping me inspired, Thank you daddy!
