Father’s Day
Being a father is a huge responsibility, harder than I thought
There are so many components, it can leave one distraught
As for who is the best father it sure isn’t me
It could be that Cosby guy, yes the one on TV
A father is a hard role to play when there’s no camera no lights no sound
Got to get your hands dirty there’s just no way around
Before I became a dad the books that I read
Made it seem easy boy was I misled
Still after all this time being a dad
I’m still learning lessons they continue to add
I want to be a good father not because of Fathers’ Day
To be an example to my three boys to show them the way
Even though they’ll find when it’s their turn
The lessons taught will have to be relearned
This journey of fatherhood is a journey in deed
With many possible outcomes and no guarantees
But since we’re already fathers there’s no turning back
No running away so may as well unpack
I have no advice for the father you should be
Except take care of your children help make them happy
