Ode to My Dad

You tell me to do this, you tell me to do that,
If we don’t agree, we resort to combat.
You don’t like my friends; you don’t like my guy,
When you have an opinion, you’re never shy
You bug me about grades, they’re important to you
High school was a really tough time to get through.
Sometimes when we fight, we say things we don’t mean,
It may not seem like it, but the love's just unseen.
Not in a million years would I change our memories,
All the different trips and family activities.
Remember the soccer games, and our crazy cheers?
Remember watching movies, and hanging out over the years?
Remember the rides home, although sometimes quiet,
Remember the cinnamon rolls when you were on a diet?
Remember driving through parking lots, sitting on your knee,
Remember that one time we actually did agree?
Remember Toys’R Us every year on my birthday,
Remember that one day, oh what did you say?
To yourself, always stay true
Oh dad by the way, I love you.
