Dear Dad

Dear Dad,

Whether together or apart there’s not a day that goes by,
that I’m not thinking of how lucky I am to have you in my life. 

Happy Father’s Day to my own superhero.
I can fight battles as long as I have you to follow.

You’re a coach on the field and at home. With you on my team I’ll never be alone. 

I‘m not fond of your rock bands, but you’re a rockstar to me.
Thank you father, for always believing in my wildest dreams. 

From trips to the park to movie theater nights, our list of adventures goes on.
“My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw will forever be our special song. 

I love to cheer on our favorite sports teams,
and watch your eyes fill with the utmost glee.

You’re the first man to really love me, you took me to our first Daddy-Daughter dance.
If any boy ever dare try to hurt me, against you they wouldn’t stand a chance.

You provide my life with the greatest memories filled with joyous and genuine laughter.
You’ll remain the best man in my life even once I’m living happily ever after.

Thanks to you I know I can take on this whole world,
I hope you know I’ll always be your little girl.

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers!

My Life Thus Far

When I look back on my life thus far
I do not dwell on what could’ve been,
rather I anticipate all that is upon a lone shooting star,
never letting the limitations of my dreams run thin.

Worries of the unknown come and go,
with it runs our time here,
but until then I’ll never know.
And so, with this poem, I will share all my fears.

If my soul fails to seep on to the page,
then let my mark be imprinted in another path.
My hope for when I rest in my tranquil grave,
be that in the shadows wander the ghost of a fighter, that is all I ask.

Of this frail world I hope to mend,
so these scripts I take with me until my days do end.
