Only my dad Comes home at night Tiredness strewn Bout his face Exhaustion Sunken in his eyes But still it barely leaves a trace He smiles And chuckles At all the accomplishments Of that day While venting About the work That took him all Day Then comforts and guides On the struggles That unfold He’s strong He’s brave His love like no other His role as father Guides once again As life throws turns No one foretold His mind And words comforting And bold His love Like a dove Guiding a path Along a rode Of danger When we lost the map. Only my dad Whose mind Goes beyond Only my dad Who’s fearlessness Is strong Only my dad Who constantly loves Beyond words I love you dad more than you could know Actually…more than that… I love you to infinity and beyond From head to toe
