To Be There

To be a father is to be there
 as you've always been for me
You were there when I fell
 to pick me up
You were there when I got a little
 too sure of myself
 to keep me grounded
You were there when I won
 to cheer me on
You were there when I lost
 to keep me going
Your care and support throughout the years
 has been unlimited
 and has certainly not gone unnoticed
I am reminded every day
 through my own actions
 that I learned from you what it means
 to be a kind and loving person

Thank you for always being there
