A Poem For Dad

To the only man I ever loved who never broke my heart,
To the man who always believed in me right from the start,
For the first man I ever loved who gave me all he could,
To the man who always consoled me every time I cried,
But stood back and let me go and gave me wings to fly,
The man who taught me everything I should,
Know to go out and live my life,
And try to do my best,
I'm his little princess, he makes me think I'm better than the rest,
The only hope that I might have,
Is to find a man at least half as good as you,
Who works hard and gives everything he can,
I hope you know how much I love you dad,
Because you are what they call a good man.
