I will be a dad more than just a father,
I’ll name my daughter after her mother.
If I have a son then it’s all for the better
My love for them I’ll express it in letters.
So they can have my exact words long after I’m gone,
As they bless the day in this world they were born.
They won’t be ashamed of me in the midst of the peers,
For they know their dad will never bring them to tears.
Through their life time I’ll inspire them to be like me
With overwhelming encouragement to follow their dream.
I’ll be the kind of dad who doesn’t bring work at home,
work be gone home time is for me and my kids alone
I’ll call their mum thrice a day when I am away,
ask her to deliver lots of kisses and hugs there way.
I’ll make them believe their dad is the strongest alive,
With the courage to tear apart a live bee hive.
I’ll be the kind of dad who drops his kids to school,
While I promise them we will meet again soon.
The kind of dad who call his kids by their nick names,
And In return they also do the same.
I will teach them the greatest thing from above,
Which is not how to love but how to be loved.
I’ll show my kids what’s right and wrong,
As I let them know home is where they belong.
I will respect the decisions they make,
And for each birthday I will bake a cake.
More than a father I will be a dad,
The thought of that gets me jovially mad
