My Two Dads

I have two great dads – yes I do Most people don’t – yes that’s true One dad raised me since I was three The other – we didn’t have a chance – him and me One dad I look just like The other taught me to ride a bike One dad showed me love and affection From the other I didn’t get much attention One dad grew with me from toys to boys All I’ve ever wanted was to give both my dads joy Dad #2 was there for the first heartache Dad #1 just seemed to give me a headache One dad knows my biggest fear is being alone The other dad would always let me come back home Both dads are the greatest men alive But for ones love I feel I have to strive At one time both my dads loved my mother And it’s funny how neither one ever has a bad word to say about the other No matter what circumstances I go through I know I have not one dad to confide in but two At times it’s hard to know what to do When only one knows the “real” you But slowly I’m showing my other dad too Even though things growing up were a little sad I am very thankful that I had more than one dad Both my dads have my undying love I know they were sent from heaven above I’m so grateful I never had to choose I would be the one who would lose
