For My First Valentine
From the moment I was first in your arms
I knew that you’d always be there
You’d always protect me
Always would guide me
And show me how much you care
You’ve been the hero I always could count on
The teacher of right versus wrong
A shoulder to cry on
A man to rely on
My love for you will always be strong
We don't always see eye to eye
Some years in the past have been tough
A few thoughtless words
Other words go unheard
But in the end, you were always enough
Who is this man, who walks above men?
Who brings out the good from the bad?
My guiding light
My shining knight
My first Valentine… his name is Dad
Aww..that's a beautiful poem for your dad!

ReplyDeleteI too wasn't expecting it to be dad but hubby or boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! I always get mushy over Daddy stuff.

ReplyDeleteHe sounds amazing. I love your poem.
ReplyDeleteDaughters love their dads! It's one of the things I'm sad Dumb Dad will never experience because we couldn't make a daughter if we tried. And we totally did. Like three times actually!
ReplyDeleteYour dad will love this! You have to share it with him!
