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 fourties 
I appreciate you more and indeed
It is because you are who you are
A unique Father is everything
