Dad’s Day

Fathers are a biological fact
Being Dad is an alive, loving act

My Dad is world best
I did boast to all the rest

My Dad taught me to swim
And to race with intent to win

My Dad taught me to play ball
And ride his shoulders to never feel small

My Dad taught me to pray
And know right from wrong, never gray

My Dad taught me to fix and repair
And to treat everything with love and care

My Dad taught me how to fight
If I needed to protect what’s right

My Dad taught me humility and peace
When I really need to unclench my fists

My Dad taught me emotion is okay
With his stories, he could tell all day

My Dad taught me the love of a good drink
As long as I took the time to savor and think

My Dad taught me a way to live
And to others, a legacy I hope to give

My Dad is Dad on Father’s Day
A loving act precious to me each and every day
