My Birthday I never loved you Because of the presents you gave Or the money you handed me. I love you Because of the pictures you took at my tee-ball games Or the applause you gave me after my solos. I love you Because you let me see your human side Or the pain you felt. It hurts to see you in pain, but your Father in heaven will care for His child just as You care for me. I love you Because I see the care in your eyes And the love in your beautiful smile. I love you Because you celebrate this special day, And you were part of making it special. That's why I love you, Dad. © Crystal Dawn,  All rights reserved. Used by permission. Previous  |  Next  |  Print  |  Poets Pages  |  Poetry Index  |  Main Page  |  Contact Us
