All of my life you have been in the background
There to offer advice and support so sound
To everyone around you as well as me
You are a rock of solid sensibility
I realise that I can never be like you
You don’t argue and you don’t drink
Everybody loves you – time to tell you what I think!
You are my best friend – Of that there is no doubt
You are the first I tell of all successes, worries and dreams
Good - but too often - as I get older - the latter it seems
All of my life – to put things in perspective
There to selfishly listen and help me learn
An open door whenever I choose
To test my own ideas and charms
I realise I want to be like you
It’s the best way to protect me from harm
I love you - and I am joyful to let you know what I think
You are my hero – of a thousand battles and wars
Medals on your chest from scars of life
Cool that you influence every part of my life
My Fab Dad! !
