A Father’s Legacy

You grew up going from place to place.

Folk thought you wouldn’t amount to a thing.

You were a wander til you heard love calling.

Your life changed on that extraordinary day.

Because your wayward position in life was no more.

You taught me how to recognize true love,

You showed how much I was loved.

You taught me how to ride my first bike.

You showed me how to work hard

You showed me how to put love into what I did

You showed me to proud just being me.

You thought you didn’t have purpose or a legacy,

Because you grew up in the foster system.

Boy were you wrong, everything I am is “You”

Many thought you were nothing but a screw up

Boy you proved them all wrong( including you).

Me and my kid was your purpose and legacy,

You were my daddy and an incredible man.
