Having enough money to buy a child
Everything he or she wants doesn’t make
A man a father
But if you give them all the time in the world
When they need you most
(Whether they ask you to or not)
Then in his or her eyes you are daddy
Merely living with a child
Doesn’t make a man a father
But if you are so emotionally & physically connected
To him or her
Then you have a chance of being alive
In that child’s heart as daddy
And though at times you may find it difficult to give
What you’ve never been given
The man inside you knows it’s there to give
Because with this child you’ve been blessed
So, if you ever find
It hard to accept that you’re less than perfect
Just remember there’s a soul
That looks to you
And when you place them first
In their eyes you will always be—
Just right
Happy Father’s Day!
