Lee Mckenzie Mckinnon Poet Free verse

My Dad, My Friend, My Hero

At first you were my Dad who watched me enter the world. 
You looked and loved and instantly cared, as I lay there all curled.

As I grow so did you and our bound did too.
You were now my dad and my friend as I grew.

I watched and learned and not always listened,
But you stood by me and watched as I glistened.

You may never have known because I told you zero,
But you have always been my hero.

My Dad, My Friend, My Hero

I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
