If you want to know how,
I will show you.
If you wonder where,
I will take you there.
If you want help,
I will be there for you.
If you wonder why,
I will share what I know.
If you want to see,
I will give you my light.
If you want to try,
I will cheer for you.
If you want to rest,
I will give you my pillow.
If you want to cry,
I will catch your tears.
If you want to dream,
I will wish for you.
Now as before I set four plates
When knowing as I do
In other moments not as great
I didn’t think of you.
There are no moments really that I
Can’t remember thinking:
Why now or Ever could you go
If all of us weren’t leaving?
But when the table starts to fill
All bounty one could have
You’re there across from us and still
According us your love.
And there you’ll always be my son,
A gentle light that shines.
And watching over us, so near
A place,for you, to dine.
So here we are when all is said
Four plates will always be
Part of our life, a knowledge: love,
That all our hearts can see.
Daddy loves you every day.
You are my son. It’s just that way.
No matter what, I’m all for you.
‘Cuz that is just what Daddies do.
No matter how much time we share
You need to know I’m always there.
I’m thinking of you all day long,
You make me want to write a song.
The song would be about the way
I want to hear the things you say.
Or it might be just how to say
I love you in a different way.
Just like this poem is a way,
To tell you on this special day:
I love you. No matter what.
