Dad

I will always love my father
not for all the things he's done
but because he's tried so hard
to make life better for everyone

Many times he's tried and failed
and fallen so far down
it seemed as if he'd never
get back up from off the ground

But he keeps on and he tries
and he dreams of something more.
better than anything
he's ever been before.

And he tries not to mind
the trouble left behind
and he tries not to make
his decisions blind...

But he makes his choices
based on his love.
And that is my father
and what he's made of...
