For my dad's 42nd birthday, I wrote him a poem.

Written July 22, 2005 at 7:50pm:


I'd like to make a toast
To The World's Greatest Father.
Is there a greater one?
I wouldn't even bother.

You've always stood by me,
And forgave me when I made a mistake.
You've always let me skip school,
Even when you knew it was a fake.

You're always trying to help me
And come up with some good advice.
Even though you never understand,
You always try to be nice.

I love you
Forever and always.
I now realize, since I'm older,
You're getting closer to my heart
With each passing day.

So here's to you
On your birthday.
Let's raise our glasses
And drink away...
