my dad

My dad is 57 today and this is my way of showing him that he is the most kind, gentle, funny and selfless man I think I will ever know. He is the only man I know that loves me for all of my flaws and will continue to forever. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD. 

You taught me how to stand my ground,
and when it was right to leave,

you picked me up when I fell down,

you're the other half of me. 

You taught me how to ride a bike, 

and how to use my feet,

cars, planes and railway trains,

you're the other half of me. 

You held me when I would cry,
danced for all the happy times,

you love me unconditionally,

dad, thanks for being the other half of me.
