Not Just My Father

Sometimes the pathways I chose are wrong,
But please don’t get mad.
Some of the decisions that I make are not the best,
But they seem to be the ones that last.
Sometimes you think I’m angry,
When I’m really feeling sad.
I try to get ready for the future,
But I’m still living in the past.
But I have learned to overcome these things,
Because my heart you mend.
You seem to keep the candle,
From blowing out in the wind.
You’ve walked with me through darkness,
Feeling the tenderness of the light.
You’ve overcome the shadows,
By putting up more than a good fight.
You’ve always been there to guide me,
Through thick and through thin.
So your not just my father,
Your also my best friend.
