I'll keep this message short as I'm writing it on a text,
What i have to say is important Dad so keep reading what i write next.

Even though we have our ups and downs and even though you can be mean,
I know our bond is unconditional over 20 years evidence can be seen.

When i was younger you were sense of security with arms to hold me tight,
Sleeping on my bedroom floor to keep me safe at night.

When i got a little older you helped me through every GSCE and A level test,
Without you i wouldn't be at university without you i wouldn't of achieved my best.

Now that I'm an "adult" it seems your jobs been done,
Yet i know you still worry secretly you're a mother hen just like mum.

I know you'll always be there for me and truthfully? I'll always need you there,
To offer me words of wisdom, your humour, your kindness, your care.

So have a lovely fathers day even though we're apart,
Know wherever you go in life, you'll be on my wrist, and in my heart.
