A Father to be Proud Of

I can see that you are worn

A defeated man inside

The look of sheer distress

Is written in your eyes

You have a home here

but one so far away

It must be so tempting

to just run away

I never blamed you

in fact I'm very proud

that I have a father

who always stuck around

I hope when I'm older

I can be as strong as you

because with that I know

I'll always preserver through

Time are getting hard

but I know we'll be okay

you made this possible 

for me to safely say
