Uncle Billy

Parents often fall distant with their children.
and this is mostly due because they must issue occassional disipline,
but I never fall distant with any of my children
because I'm that cool uncle who visits and has fun with them.
I'll never see myself as amounting to much of a daddy,
but I know that I'm every child's favorite "Uncle" Billy,
at least that's what every child in my life has conveyed to me.
