All she ever wanted
Was someone to kiss every night?
Was someone who she could tell anything too?
To buy her skirts and dresses, make-up and shoes.
Someone to tell her boy problems too?
Teenage girls never have a clue.
Someone to encourage her to follow her dreams?
To cheer her on at every game, meet, practice.
Someone who would put her before herself?
Consider “how would this affect her life”
Rather than always “me me me me me”
Somebody who would treat her right,
Somebody a mom.
She grew up a young adult.
Figuring out the world and who to be.
She didn’t need a mom because she had someone.
Someone that helped her get this far.
Someone who tucked her in every night with a goodnight kiss?
Someone she could trust with anything?
To buy her Jordans and cleats.
Jerseys and sweats.
Someone she could talk about boys with?
Guy know more about teenage boys.
She had someone to cheer her on,
Every step of the way.
Every single game, meet, and practice.
Rain or sunshine.
For fifteen years.
Someone who put her before him
It was always “she needs to be happy”
Never what he wanted, he sacrificed.
Never doubted her once, he believed.
Instead of a deadbeat mom,
She got a dad ♥
