This is for you, Dad

Here is a quick poem for you,
To say what I cannot speak.
To start to chew through,
To me you are indeed unique.



You are after all my Dad,
You are my one and only.
I know that I might seem sad or mad,
And I might even seem lonely.



But I know I am loved,
And you are in return,
Though sometimes you are back shoved,
But when I do I also do feel the burn.



Despite my understanding of the written word,
When I try to say anything,
it gets stuck on the tip of my tongue.
I know how I act sometimes is absurd,
Yet I don't know that much, I am too young.



I know you only try to help me,
And I take it all on board.
Though I don't seem tp agree,
Seems I have just gone and ignored.



You have watched me grow into this,
And I don't know, but it must be hard,
The thought of it makes me reminisce,
Of when I was little and you were my guard.



I could go on for a while with what I want to say,
But know that everything I say is true,
I wish you a Happy Father's Day,
And no matter what I've said, I love you.
