My Father

Tribute to my Father who was always there for me

My Father

What do you mean you don't know?

Huh? Come on answer me

That's not the answer for me and it wont work

You hit me across the head

but its rightfully deserved

Go back to your room you yell

And think about what you've done

I always thought you were picking on me

Trying to belittle me

But that was years ago

I know you meant no harm

I was reckless as a kid

Never really cared

Never respected you

Not until I fucked up

It was then I needed you the most

At that time you were right there

By my side

Always there

Always guiding me to do the right thing

But I plainly ignored

I was never bad at the heart

I was just confused and immature

Again though you were always there

It wasn't until high school

When my mind was finally freed

I saw what you were trying to do for me

You were trying to raise a proper man

Someone who would be respected

Someone who could always be counted on

When I finally found out

My respect for you grew

Here I am now

A young adult alone by himself

And ive done everything you've taught up until now

I wish I could go back

And change my ways of how I felt about you but that

Would be wrong

I wouldn't be the man today without you

So all that's left to say is

Thank you

For being my Father and always being there

A loving, caring father should be a role model for his children. Sometimes they use tough love techniques for they do care about guidance and correction. There is a fine line between abuse and tough love. It seems your father was a good one.
