Father Steps

If only there was a playbook
or manual at best
No study group or cliff notes
to take the big test
Being a Dad is hard, our baby steps
are the same as yours
We crawl along on all fours
with you on the floors
Had a hand in your creation
But the realization
We didn't give birth
Helped bring you to Earth
Often underrated 
it can't be understated
Our love for our kids 
is immense
Being DAD is intense
Our love for you is the only thing 
that makes sense
