I dedicate this to my real father because he was never there as I was growing up, so my mom's ex treated me like I was his and that's why I call him daddy because he's the one that I actually had!

Always My Father But Never My Dad

I'm sorry you missed out when I went to school for the 1st time,
And you didn't have me tell you that you were all mine,
I'm sorry you weren't there to take me to the mall,
And you weren't there to tell me I have to stand tall,
Sorry you weren't the one I saw when I came home that day
Or the one I'd run to when I had a bad day,
I'm sorry you didn't hear me write these, you'd have been so proud,
And you weren't there to lift me up on a cloud,
Sorry you weren't there to tell me there's nothing to fear,
But then again you should have been here,
I'm sorry you weren't the one to teach me to ride a bike,
Or the one who took me on my first ride.
I'm sorry you weren't the one who carried me on his back,
that was my other daddy, the one I actually had!
Or the one who held me tight when strength is what I lacked,
I'm sorry you weren't the one to hold me when I cried,
Or tell me I did great when I really tried,
I'm sorry you were never there to teach me how to cook,
Or there at night to read me my favorite book,
I'm sorry me as a daughter is what you never had,
You will always be my father, but you will never be my dad.

I worked with my boss one night and he told a remarkable story. His mother got pregnant with him, they were young and unmarried so they put him up for adoption. He was adopted and a good family raised him. After he was grown he tried to track down his birth parents, and found them. They had gotten married sometime after he was put up for adoption and he had a brother. The brother looked just like him. He had pictures of his mom, dad, and brother.

I guess he got lucky.

lowell: I too have had some projects to work on. I got started on removing a Japanese Quince from the once corner of the house. It, with the help of some brushy plants had managed to entangle the power line. Apr 2, 2024 0:42:23 GMT -6
