The Steps of a Dad

There are no instructions on being a father No matter what is written in a book You have to be there and experience it One step was all it took When our father stepped out and left us alone You stepped in and made our house a home You came into our life and became our dad And gave us something we never had You are easy to talk to, you know what to say You stepped up and was there when the other walked away When we need male guidance and a little correction You are there to provide us with love and direction We thank you for showing how much you care And for always being more than fair When things are right and even when wrong We're glad we have you to lean on The difference you have made and what you did By watching us grow from being a kid Has left a positive influence in our life You married our mom and made her your wife One step at a time was how it was done Our family is complete, for we now are one
