Unique Father
Maybe we went fishing
Under the country sky
Then maybe we went camping
Counting stars and fireflies
In the city maybe we played pool
Restored a car, played chess, bowled
Maybe we went to the racetrack too
But mom isn’t supposed to know
Maybe we emailed a lot
Because you work so hard so much
Yet every word or call I got
Made me feel your love
Maybe I broke that window
With your favorite autographed ball
Maybe I was so simple
To think you know it all
Maybe to me you are
The greatest of all men
Maybe in my teens
I think you don’t understand
Maybe in my forties
I appreciate you more and indeed
It is because you are who you are
A unique Father is everything
