All that Remains

Of Step-fathers and Daughters

I am ever-grateful that I can look around and see

Everything that I am, and all I can be

The life I get to lead because you're in it

A time, unimaginable without you wouldn't fit

In the future that I see, bright and colorful and fun

So thank you so much, for all that you've done

The sun rouses me with each new day

And dare I never dream of a world with you away

A warmth that I feel whenever you're near

I get to feel safe, knowing you're here

To the future, I will excitedly run

So thank you so much, for all that you've done

I get to be proud to call you my father

And I know I will never not be your daughter

And though we are not related, I love you just the same

Because you pick me up and help me whenever I feel pain

A family divorced is what I come from

So thank you so much, for all that you've done

I am a life you have touched, just one of many

Of the advice you have given me, I kept every penny

The joy you have brought to my life leaves me astounded

And I can only wish to not be so dumbfounded

The opportunity and love and hopes and dreams

Thank you a lot;  you have no idea how much it means
