A Father

A Father is always there
A father is loving and lovable
A father is a hero to his daughter

You are never there
You do not love
You are not my hero

A father is devoted to his daughter
A father is a man worth looking up to
A father is trusting

You aren't devoted to me
I do not look up to you
And I do not trust you

A father is not you.
