A Poem

He rides you on his shoulders and watches when you play;

He saves you from all the bugs, while you scream and run away;

His smile radiates joy as he walks into the room.

The only one to warn us mom’s coming home on Sunday afternoon.

Loving, intelligent, courageous, and kind.

With one long look he can read your mind.

He’ll put up with our laziness

and give us a few extra minutes of sleep in the morning.

We’re so lucky to have such a chill dad you know,

some can be pretty boring.

He’s proud of your triumphs but when things go wrong,

that’s when he wipes your tears

and gives you the courage to go on.

You see in life, no matter how old or weak you become

There are always a few that remain close to your heart;

the special ones.

I don’t think we express it enough Dad.

But we love you. We love you very much.

And even though he will get no medals for vacuuming the house,

my dad is a truly incredible person inside - out.

He may not be a hero known by the world;

but a hero he will forever remain to his two little girls.
