Fatherhood

There aren’t enough ways,
To emphasize your impact each day.
Such an influence in every way,
No matter the time of the day.

Thank you for everything you do,
No idea where I’d be if not for you.
Bouncing in life around and through,
Loose and unstable as a wild kangaroo.

You brought peace and stability,
I didn’t think those were a possibility.
You changed my entire perception,
My idea was based on a misconception.

Took me out of the tornado’s eye,
Brought me over to the other side.
Endless gratitude fills my heart,
You repaired the pieces that fell apart.

Happy Birthday Dad, I love you!
