You have always been there in my time of need
I was the most important thing in your life indeed
We laughed together, you watched me cry.
You helped me understand
It was because of you, my dad, that I became a man
You taught me patience, you gave me will.
You believed in me most of all
You always understood, my dad, I feel I’m ten feet tall.
This piece was written for my very best friend in the whole world, my fiance' Paul. His dad is a very special person to us all. Dad's are important to us. My dad passed away a little more than three years ago and I realize more than ever just how important he really was.
