(Commissioned by Joyce for my Dad, Bobby) Dad, maybe I never said it but, I really appreciate you I appreciate the things that you did for me that I could not do for myself You took time for me when you could have been doing something for yourself You showed me love whether I deserved it or not—thank you Dad
Dad, maybe I never said it but, I really love you I love you because you have done more for me than anyone in the world I love you because you have never given up on me—you never wavered I love you because I’m not perfect but that was okay—you loved me anyway There are 15 more lines to this poem |
“Dad, you are what love is” (Commissioned by James for Dad, Morris) I have learned so much from you Dad; I have much more to learn I have observed your strengths and have tried to emulate them I have wanted to be the man that would make you very proud I now know I have to grow into that which is your dream
Dad I want to be the man you want me to be I want to be the man that will make you proud I want to be the man that is righteous and moral I want to be the man that raises children the way you raised me There are 15 more lines to this poem |
