My Two Dads

I have two great dads – yes I do 
Most people don’t – yes that’s true 

One dad raised me since I was three 
The other – we didn’t have a chance – him and me 

One dad I look just like 
The other taught me to ride a bike 

One dad showed me love and affection 
From the other I didn’t get much attention 

One dad grew with me from toys to boys 
All I’ve ever wanted was to give both my dads joy 

Dad #2 was there for the first heartache 
Dad #1 just seemed to give me a headache 

One dad knows my biggest fear is being alone 
The other dad would always let me come back home 

Both dads are the greatest men alive 
But for ones love I feel I have to strive 

At one time both my dads loved my mother 
And it’s funny how neither one ever has a bad word to say about the other 

No matter what circumstances I go through 
I know I have not one dad to confide in but two 

At times it’s hard to know what to do 
When only one knows the “real” you 
But slowly I’m showing my other dad too 

Even though things growing up were a little sad 
I am very thankful that I had more than one dad 

Both my dads have my undying love 
I know they were sent from heaven above 

I’m so grateful I never had to choose 
I would be the one who would lose
