We have imperfections That is clear to see There are many subjects On which opinions disagree
Find ourselves butting stubborn heads Perhaps the reason why Is we are both Tauruses The bull of the zodiac signs
All mixed in conversation We smile then we glower One moment words honey sweet Next sentences sour
But though we sometimes fight Would not ever trade In for a different dad Hope you feel the same
And asking me to change ways Is only because you care Wish I could take my habits off Like clothing I wear
When you look disappointed Pains me inside It feels like you don't notice How hard I tried
It is not easy to make you proud With the life I live No matter how you disapprove Still find a way to forgive
When I was younger remember on drives You would always stop to get us ice cream Spoiled me to the point that if not I would throw a fit and scream
Looking at my younger self Shake my head and laugh Wishing I had realized from the start How fast it flies This short life we have
When I needed breaks from school You would allow me to play hookey Knew staying home one day wouldn't hurt I would sleep in and chill in my hoodie
When I searched for guidance Every topic open Most supportive parents in the world Inappropriate and outspoken
You may not behave like other dads More than one occasion forgot Picking me up from volleyball practice Hour late pulled in the parking lot
But I would not ask you to change a thing Love you just the way you are Scruffy Honest Embarrassing Drinking out a Mason jar
I am lucky I get to call you my father Might have your fair share of flaws When it comes to being there for me Deserve a round of applause
I know if ever needing to seek help To turn to you without hesitation Genorosity is unconditional Beyond all reciprocation
I will not get the chance to pay you back Think we both know that is true Best I can do is say "Thank you for everything" And strive to one day be like you
