When they don't want to.
For the ones who come home every night.
For the men who hold no blood but love nonetheless.
For teaching lessons.
For being the first man your daughter will love.
For being the man your son would want to be.
For devotion.
Protection.
Integrity.
For saying I love you every day.
For tucking your baby into bed.
For creating fond memories.
For preventing another statistic.
For our fathers.
For being both.
For handling it alone.
For endless love.
For loyalty.
For every sweet word spoken.
For keeping the pieces together.
For being the conveyor of light.
For our single parents.
For giving hope.
For staying true.
For knowing it takes a village.
For a simple smile.
For asking the tough questions.
For teaching the hardest lessons.
For forgiveness.
For individuality.
For trust.
For the men who lead by example.
For the good ones. The ones lost. The ones who tried. Happy Fathers Day. Your influence is greater than you will ever truly know. Step fathers, single mothers, adoptive fathers, single dads, for being the best parent you can be to the next generation. Thank you.
