My Fab Dad Poem by Michael WheelerWyatt

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
