Honoring Stepdad
Stepfather Poetry ~ Christine Priebe
As the years passed and I grew,
Everyday you helped me make it through.
Sometimes it was hard to even get along,
But you held me up and made me strong.
I tried at first to keep you out of my life,
Yet then one day my mom became your wife.
The change in the beggining was hard for me,
When I finally opened my eyes I began to see.
You weren’t out to make my world difficult and bad,
Eventhough sometimes you did make me quite mad.
Now as I sit here and look back at the past,
I see that it only worked out for the best.
I gained a special person that supports what I do,
I wouldn’t want that person to be anyone but you.
Thank you to my wonderful stepdad.
