It takes a special kind of person

To take on the responsibilities of someone else

When they could choose a life so much easier

To pick up the pieces torn and scattered

And slowly build them back up to what they were meant to be

In my life I was fortunate to meet a person just like this

My world was incomplete

There was a missing piece

It took a while But he was patient

Each piece He picked up and put securely back in place

And when he got to the end the piece that had been missing

He took a piece of his own heart and filled it for me

He gave me a little of himself so that I would be whole again

There are very few like him

And I gave him a special name

I call him daddy

Daddy I love you and appreciate all that you have done for me, specially when in the beginning it wasn't your responsibility. Thank you for giving me that piece that made me whole
