Because he called me Dad
As I sit and write and think of you
and all the good times that we had,
the greatest moments are those times
when I heard you call me Dad.
"Gosh Dad, what's two times two,
I don't think my answers right?"
"Hey Dad, please tuck me in,
I need a kiss goodnight."
"Let's play catch Dad, ride our bikes
and wrestle on the floor.
Gee Dad, how come you're so tired,
let's play a little more."
"Oh Dad, can I have ten bucks,
I'm headed to the mall.
Yes Dad, I will take care
and when I leave I'll call."
"Hi Dad, I've got a problem,
do you have a minute or two?
Dad, sometimes my life is hard,
it feels good to talk with you?"
As the echoes of those words
bring smiles to my heart,
the joy of you fills my soul
and we don't feel so far apart.
I thank you son for all you are
and the good times that we had.
But most of all I thank you child
for calling me your dad.
