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
