My Dad

From broken hearts
to broken toys,
From friendship troubles,
to troubles with boys,

From doctor's appointments
to endless concerts,
Practices, softball games,
and botched desserts.

When I fell you caught me,
Never letting me fall too far.
Some of the best memories I have
Are singing along to our favorite songs in the car.

I've made mistakes,
far from a few,
But you've always helped me learn from them,
all the while helping me through.


You've taught me so much
in these fifteen years,
lessons I will never forget,
Even if they were taught with the
shedding of some tears.

I know to face my fears,
and take whatever comes at me.
Tomorrow isn't promised
and today's barely a garuntee.

I need to follow my dreams,
I can acheive anything.
I'll have to work hard for it,
but you believe in me.

No matter what
I will always have my family.
Always remind someone you love them,
especially when saying goodbye.

No one is too old for hugs,
treat people how you want to be treated.
Manners are important,
and don't ever be conceited.

Honesty is best,
don't ever be afraid to talk about something.
It's okay to cry,
and always look before you swing.

Don't fight,
it's not worth it.
Sing as loud as you can,
and never quit.

I know I'll learn more,
as the years pass by.
The future doesn't seem so scary,
with you by my side.

I didn't have a mom,
Something I proud of.
Mainly because I get to tell everyone
about my
awesome
funny
rockstar
Dad.
