Thank You for Never Being There

There was once a man whom I was suppose to look up too.

 

He failed my whole family, this man I call dad.

 

When I tell you I love you it is just a formality, I don't like to be rude.

 

You always say how proud you are for me joining the air force.

 

I suppose I do owe you and all my mothers lousy suitors the credit.

 

Once I realized you were **** I decided to never be like you,

 

it gave me the motivation to push myself to always be a better man.

 

So from the bottom of my heart I thank you for never being there!
