Open Mic

Keeping me safe from harm

You would hold me in your arms

You've been with me from the beginning

Standing by me when I was losing or winning

I love you dad.

I could count on you being in the stands

You even went with me to different bands

I rely on the saying- good night bug

And giving you a big huge hug

I love you dad.

I hate when you have to go away

I smile seeing you after a long hard day

You've coached me through sports and life

Taking away all my strife

I love you dad.

You see the best there is in me

You know the person I can be.

How did I get so lucky

That you were the dad chosen for me

I just want to let you know

That you are my hero

I love you dad.
