Single Dad Poetry ~ Live, Love, Laugh – It’s Your Birthday Bash
You’ve been patient, waiting for a sign
You work so long, trying hard all the time
Our one and only parent, you won’t let us fall down
A single dad, your love keeps our family closely bound
You fight the sometimes raging tides
You strive to keep the doors open wide
Give us the opportunities in which to thrive
And keep us whole, healthy, happy and alive
You wake from dreaming to make
Our dreams come true for our sake
Your love and devotion are the reasons
We’ve grown strong through changing seasons
You wait for the sign that tells you you’ve won
Succeeded, achieved it, a father and mother in one
But we want you to settle down and look around you
You’re already perfect, a father with a loving heart so true
So today on your birthday we won’t back down, won’t let you stall
It’s time to celebrate your creation and the amazement you created in us all
It’s time to relax and it’s time to play, time for you to simply live, love, and laugh
We love and respect you, we’re thankful for you, so come along, dad, let’s have a birthday bash
