Downright Always Dedicated
It takes much dedication to be a father
Not someone that anyone can be
Brag if you're a donor, don't even bother
Only after you experience it will you see
You decided to adopt not two but three sons
Not by force but through pure volunteer
From the first day our life with you had begun
You showed us all your strength and never fear
You spent hours on end teaching the good and bad
How to treat others and what to expect in life
At times we forced you to get a little bit mad
That's when you counted von your loving wife
No matter what you think, you have taught us well
We get compliments on a daily basis
Could not have done better from what I can tell
You have done your job, come on let's face it
Once and for all I will put your fears to rest
No father could have done more than you
From our family and friends, you are the best
That is why dad, we all love you
