Dad

 

He may not have known how to use an Easy Bake Oven

 but he could always braid Suzy's hair

He may not have immediately known how to dress me

 but he did get help

He may not have always told me how smart he knew I was

 when I showed him the "D" I got in English class

 It's just wasn't his fault that he couldn't help me

He may not have always picked me up on time from school

 because he always had to wait for his relief on his second job

He may not have known how to tell me about why a boy pulled my hair everyday

 but I am so glad Daddy taught me how to throw a great left hook

He may not have been able stay awake for all of my school performances

 but at least he was there

He may not have been there when my first love Bradley broke up with me

 but at least he let me cry on his shoulder as he told me how lucky I was that he did that

He may not have had much fashion sense

 but Daddy did make me glow like an angel at my prom

He may not have wanted me to leave home and then get married

 but Daddy told me that he would always be there for me

He may not have had Mom there beside him to witness all this

 but he helped me know all about her

 and how she would be so proud of me and how she would have wanted

 to be there too

He may not have always used big words

 but he did know just the right thing to say

He may not have chosen anyone to share his life with afterwards

 but Dad was happy

 and his love for the one that slipped through his fingers lives on forever
