my buddy

my bestfriend

the person who chose to step up

to step up when my other father would not

  even when we got in fights 

and we may not see eye to eye

im still greatful for you all the time

   you taught me how to drive the truck

and you showed me how to change my oil

you taught me what endless love from a father feels like

you wanted to be the dad i never had 

the dad i deserved

   i may not call you dad

even when you fill the spot

but i will always cherish you in my heart

   my buddy

my best friend 

the person who chose to step up

to step up and be the father i nevet got
