I am going to write today In honour of my dad The one who makes me laugh Whenever I'm feeling sad
When I fall down it's always him Who's there to pick me up And definitely not forgetting The ever-present coffee cup!
Occasionally we argue when we both think that we're right I think I picked that up from him Stubborn in every fight!
When I was just a baby He worked 16 hour shifts To keep us fed and comfortable And to buy us Christmas gifts
Its nice that I can celebrate And give him something back To honour all the times we've had And cut him some slack!
I always remember a holiday When we walked on Hastings pier I thought I'd fall through the gaps But he said 'have no fear'
'You won't fall through the gaps But if somehow you fell The first one after you would be me I'd dive into the swell'
It stuck with me, that moment Completely safe in his arms I knew no matter what happened He wouldn't let me be harmed
So Dad this one I've written Completely for you! Remembering all the times That you helped me get through...
