Father's Days

Daddy doesn't know that I notice everything he does

His ways become mine

His thoughts are my first

His heart is open to me

Even when it closes the door to everything else

He reminds me that he cares about me

Even when he is not sure how to care for himself

Daddy doesn't know that I love him without question

We don't tell Dad's as much

It isn't what people do

Dad I love you

I love when you barbecue

I love when you give me a ride

Even when I act like you have to

I miss the moments when I really wanted to listen to you

And I thought you just didn't want me to do something, I can't remember now what it was

I thank you for the moments you took the time

To just let me know how things go

So that I would know

No credits, no accolades

Just love and caring

Thank you Dad, you are more than a man who takes care of his family

You taught me to take care of mine

I now know to keep talking

That kids are listening all the time

The foresight of knowing

What is yet to come

Is the love of a Dad

That is second to none
