For you, Dad

My Dad is truly special to me; I think he is a fantastic fellow

He only ever wants the best for me, he will always be my hero

He protects and keeps me safe, whenever I may be in trouble

If ever I do need him; he is there for me and extremely helpful

He gave me high expectations, of everything a man should be

No matter how difficult I was, he has always been there for me

For this I will always be grateful and I hope that he does know

I appreciate all he's done for me and I do hope that this shows

The love he has for my mum, has never faltered through his life

He treats her like a princess, the way a man should treat his wife

He has always been the strong one who keeps all of us together

For these reasons I will always love him and cherish him forever

He never asks much of anyone but to be honest and always true

He stands before all of the family; their is nothing he would not do

I am proud of the man that he is and love him with all of my heart

I wish I had realised this years ago; valued him right from the start

This protection and love he does share, with both of my daughters

For they love their grandad immensely and this love will never alter

He is always their to guide them; shows an interest in all that they do

We thank him for all that he does and we treasure him everyday too
