FOR DAD
When I was born you held me close, stroked my baby-soft hair,
Picked me up whenever I cried -
Dad, you were always there.
When I was five and just starting school, scared and unaware,
You took my hand and soothed me -
Dad, you were always there.
Sports Day came and went each year, as did the Annual Fayre,
Assemblies and Christmas plays -
Dad, you were always there.
Then adolescence crept up on me, I always wore a glare
But you still loved me just the same -
Dad, you were always there.
You were so proud on my wedding day. Â But we moved, for the country air.
Although we're apart now, I'd like you to know -
Dad, for you I'll always be there.
