I will never be a cool Dad
I will not wear the latest fashions
But you will never want for clothes
I’ll not allow you to eat too much junk food
But I’ll do my best to cook you tasty food
There will be no staying out all night
And each time you walk out the door I’ll worry
You won’t get a brand new car for your birthday
But I’ll make sure you are never without a safe ride
I will never be a cool Dad
I won’t let you fake being sick
But when you are I’ll nurse you back to health
You may not always have the latest gadgets or screens
But I will always make time for you
You’ll have to put up with my lame jokes
But when you’re hurting they’ll make you smile
I might embarrass you in front of your friends
But only with memories I deeply cherish
I will never be a cool Dad
I might hound you about your homework
But your grades will be proudly posted on the fridge
You might not want to tell me things
But you can always cry on my shoulders
I won’t give you everything you want
But you won’t need for anything
I might make you do chores
But you’ll be strong and independent
I will never be a cool Dad
I would never want to be a cool Dad
But I am over the moon about being your Dad
Because I love you
