(Father's Day poem)
Do you remember that time,
all those years ago,
when I fell and scraped my knee,
then ran sobbing to your arms?
Do you remember last Christmas,
when you hugged me as I left?
I swear that I could feel your love,
through that wonderful hug.
Do you remember your last birthday,
when I called you the night before?
That was the worst night of my life,
but that precious hour made it bearable.
Do you remember
my first word?
my first step?
my first laugh?
Do you remember
how many times I’ve said, ‘I love you’?
how many hugs we’ve exchanged?
how many times you’ve stayed my tears?
Do you remember
all the times that you were there for me?
all the times you made me laugh?
all the times you brightened up my day?
Do you remember
the one who was there for all that?
Who raised me to be me,
and who’s helped me through so much?
Do you remember
all we’ve been through good or bad,
watching as I grew up,
and that you’re the best dad in the world? !
