Well again it's my favorite day of the year
A day I get to celebrate you
I get to thank you for all that you've done
To tell you how I see your hard work
I will always remember all our family trips
All our weekends together
And how they were perfect because you're
The one that made it all l happen
I will always have with me
All that you've taught me
Thank you for the times I was grounded
And thank you for the rewards when I fought through
You're the one that holds all our weight
How could we ever get by without you...

I'll tell you how exactly
Even in the years that you were there
You were never really there
All the problems were actually you
You being gone is even better than you being here
How can you possibly call yourself a dad
All you really did was help conceive
How could I celebrate you
What would I even have to say to you
You never taught me anything a father would

I could thank you though
Thank you for leaving
That may be the only thing you did right in our life
You left my mom with no option
She had to be the strong one
The one that grounded me
Because yea I was a bad kid
I was a mess just thinking I needed you
But you know what
Now I know how much I really don't
She's the one that did all the hard work
Just so she could reward me when I fought through
She's the one that holds our weight
She's the one we could never get by without
So today is a bitter sweet kind of day
And in the end it's ok
Cuz right beside me is the most wonderful father anyone could ask for
So Happy Father's day mom
I could not even put in the right words how much I love my mom for being the strongest woman I know and how much I admire her. But this is just a piece of my heart.
