You'Re Not My Dad

Don’t get mad, hear me through You’re not my dad you know Sure, there are some similarities Height, facial hair, brown eyes, but that’s about it The size, hair color, and attitude are all different My dad says he cares You don’t My dad always tries to prove things to us You don’t My dad says he’s there if we need him You don’t Ya, you both say “I love you”, but it’s different somehow The main reason you’re not my dad is because.... You don’t say you care, because we know it You don’t say you’ll be there, because we see that You don’t try to prove things to us, because we trust you And last but not least When you say “I love you”, you mean it See...now you know why you’re not my dad Aren’t you glad you heard me through? Written for Father's Day in 2010 for my step-dad
