Dad

Looking up to you with big, brown eyes
You were my hero.

Screaming at you when you said I couldn’t go,
You were my enemy.

Laughing when you made a joke,
You were my comedian.

Begging you to change you mind,
You were my challenge.

Thanking you when you trusted me,
You were my friend.

Leaving you as I prepare to go away,
You are my dad.
