Two D's Make a Difference

Hey Dad, it's your day

It's all about you, and

You like it that way

It almost seems common

The word 'day' as it appears,

So flat, so three-lettered,

It looks like it's been sheared.

But add in two dimensions, two D's if you will,

And all of a sudden, new burst of life springs forth,

Making a five lettered word three-dimensional,

And best of all, it spells 'Daddy' of course!

Now I know you're not the perfect parent,

But I'm not going down that route again.

If I can accept you for who you are, then I

Can rest easy for myself, and that's a win.

Other people may not be so forgiving,

Thinking you to be too serious in your work,

Too sarcastic in your jokes, and then there's your

Accent, which makes you stand out like a dork.

While those are all faults which I can't explain away,

I do focus on the positive things, such as you're funny,

You're smart, you think for yourself, and because of those

Strengths, I can love you because it's Father's Day.
