A Father's Day Poem

I wrote this poem for my dad for father's day.  It really meant a lot to him and I meant every word of it.  My father is always there for me no matter what and such a big part of my life. So here it is:

Dads are always there when you need them.
To talk to, to give advice;
To be the one person you need to be nice.
To laugh with, to turn to;
To hang out with, so you can figure out you.
And even though you may act as though you don't hear what they say;
Dads CAN be right, maybe, not always.
But a Dads' love will never be done;
And I know that my dad, I can always count on.
