Ode Dear Dad

I realised that I may have forgotten someone very important in my life in my blogs who I absolutely take for granted..... so I thought I would post a poem and hope he likes it!

I may have forgotten you again

We just sort of take you for granted

Like when we forgot to tell you we were getting a cat... before we got one

So when I didn't write about you in my blog,

It wasn't because I didn't care

Or notice all the things you do day in and day out

It's that I always just sort of expect you to be there

Waiting to pick me up in your car as I chat to my mates

Walking Mum's mad dog – a task we all dread

The crap job of cleaning the commode

And pushing the wheelchair up impossible hills til you're pretty much dead

The coffee that magically appears by my side in the morning

Or the perfectly buttered crumpets or toast

The hours of looking for what I've dropped under my bed

You're not such a bad dad I suppose

Lest we forgot what you do for Greenford and Ealing

No one is more deserving of mayoralship than you

From sorting out bins, benefits and other people's problems, among others

Well we're all well proud to be true

You may watch football – well we've all got flaws

And I may forget to tell you I love you – well I do have mine too

See to me, you're my dad – a word that means so many things

But the one thing I know first: I know I always have you.

But the one thing I know first: I know I always have you
