Happy Birthday Dad ! (Poem)

Happy Birthday Dad, Poem

When I was born

I didn't know much

I was introduced to this world

By your kind words and soft touch

Years passed so quickly

And we were already alike

You were my guide and instructor

When learning to ride a bike

Off to kindergarten

And a tear in your eye

You've always been sensitive

When it comes to goodbyes

It's because of the love

That you hold in your heart

You want me to experience life

But don't like to be apart

So off I went

Adventuring alone

Learning new things

Experiencing life on my own

Hasn't always been easy

That, I am aware

But one thing's for sure

You are always there

You've helped me see

The woman I can become

You've always had faith in me

Even when I had none

It's that unconditional love

That helped me get through

I wish all little girls' daddies

Could be as great as you

If all girls had guidance

And a dad's shoulder to cry

They'd grow up with confidence

And a willingness to try

So I guess what I'm saying

Is thank you, Dad

I'm not sure words can express

The impact you've had

You are my hero

And an inspiration to all

Happy Birthday, Dad
