My Father, My Friend

(Written By: Matt Michaud)



As a child I was a pain and sometimes a smartass

He put up with my shit and won’t ever ask

For any repayment at all

He’s there when I trip and I fall

Because I’m his son and the best you can have

I’m the proudest there is to call you my dad



Remember those cold mornings when you’d lace up my skates?

After I’d scream and curse for not letting me sleep

So there’d be times when we’d fight and it’d get rough

But all I remember is our unconditional love

Because I learnt from your lessons, I watch where I step

I’ve avoided the shit and I don’t smell yet



I miss the days at the start of my life

And the tears that you shed when I stepped on the ice

Now that we’re older our outlooks have changed

You’re my father my friend and that’s stayed the same



Hey dad it’s ok if to cry when we make you proud

All a son can ask for is for their dad to show how

Much he cares and wants them to succeed

Either by letting him stay at your office at work

When getting sent home from school for being a jerk

I’ve learnt many things from my dad

Like to always keep trying even when it gets bad



I miss the days at the start of my life

And the tears that you shed when I stepped on the ice

Now that we’re older our outlooks have changed

You’re my father my friend and that’s stayed the same



I miss the days at the start of my life

And the tears that you shed when I stepped on the ice

Now that we’re older our outlooks have changed

You’re my father my friend and that’s stayed the same
