My Father

A father that shows compassion, a father that gives rules
A father with the intention 
Of seeing his little girl go through school
A father that has been there through good times and bad
A father that wipes my tears everytime I'm sad
A father that defends me through every trial I've been through
A father that teaches me the good, the bad, the old and the new
A father I could talk to whether it be good or bad
Is the father I never had, and this makes me very sad
For if I was blessed with a father that had wanted to be there
I would have been a better person today, I swear.
