I WAS BLESSED WITH TWO FATHERS

I was blessed with two fathers
One who gave birth to me
But unfortunately died when I was three.

The other, my stepfather true,
Was a man who accepted me
Into his heart, which had room for many.

He was a true and honest man
The kind that always let you know
Where he stood without making demands

I learned that honor and integrity
Still had a place in the world we live.
His quiet intelligence and strong shoulders
Were always available when needed.

He taught me that fighting for what
I believe in can be difficult and frustrating
But in the end, the results are worth it.

He taught me never to give up
But he also taught me sometimes
You need to walk away with your head held high.

I loved this man for he was my father
No other could take his place in my heart.
He is the only DAD I ever had.
