I’m just a dad with lots of love
Far from perfect like our Lord above
And life isn’t always loads of fun
I make mistakes like everyone
I’m not always playful and full of wit
I tend to worry more than I admit
I wonder does my family see
Just how much they mean to me
I try my best to make them proud
Despite the fact, I’m sometimes loud
I struggle with what life may bring
and don’t have answers to everything
For them, there’s nothing I will not try
To bring them joy or stop a cry
Provide for each their every need
In hopes they will one day succeed
Do they know I love it too
to hear them say “Dad we love you”
It cheers me up in times I’m sad
I too need love I’m just a dad
