My Stepfather Poem by Roger Horsch

Remember those days
when I was a child
Always in trouble
always so wild

I was carefree and curious
and in everyone's hair
I didn't dare start any trouble
cause' I knew you were there

You were tough, but kind
strict, yet stern
You grounded me often
in hope that I'd learn

I was constantly talking
I was constantly loud
All I wanted in life
was for you to be proud

You taught me a lot
you taught me so well
I have finally listened
I hope you can tell

So, If you wonder do I love you
I will tell you don't bother
'Cause My Dad is My Dad
But you were always my Father
