Those are the words we all want to hear
What ever the game you want your dad near
If he is not it removes your drive
So you look for other ways to survive
Everything you do matters you know
Try your best to be good in the show
If no-one is there to see what you do
You have to step-up and do it for you
You do what you can your best for now
The best you can for their attention some how
All they need to say is I’m proud of you
I love you no matter what you do
Remember this in the children you raise
The one thing they crave it’s your constant praise
If they fall be there for them
Help them up to start again
Without you there they’ll stray for sure
You’re here to teach them good to the core
They’ll love you for it until the end
Keep your love strong and compliment them
