A Dad. Poem by David Boyce

A Dad.

Anyone can be a father,
But it takes a special one to be a Dad,
Someone who is always there for his children,
When they are happy, upset or sad.

No matter what their hair colour,
Black, brown, ginger or blonde,
It will be a special Dad,
Who has that forever lasting bond.

A Dad will always be there,
Even when their own marriage is at a rift,
Being there when they are needed,
To give his child that needed lift.

There is no stereotypical Dad,
Like the old, bald father wearing a string vest,
A Dad will always be there,
For his children he will do his best.
