This is for my hero, my Dad

The best father a kid could ever have

You laughed a lot and kept me happy

Even if some of your jokes were kinda sappy.

When punished for my stubborn indignation

You brought me a biscuit to curb my starvation

‘Cause I was sent to bed without any dinner

In my eyes, Dad, you were always a winner.

From skinned knees to a broken transmission

You helped me though all of life’s transitions

As I grew older, I know it was hard for you

But your love for me kept shining through.

You were always there to calm all my fears

Until that night I found you in tears

During my many crises, you knew what to do

Ultimately, I learned you’re human too.
