I'm the one that does it <br />when your not around <br />The one that did it <br />before you came to town <br /> <br />I am the one that decides <br />who stays and who goes <br />I am the one that pays <br />the one that stomps toes <br /> <br />I am the one that throws down <br />when there is a fight to be fought <br />I am the one that teaches <br />when there is a lesson to be taught <br /> <br />I am the one that bandages <br />your elbows and knees <br />When you have fallen <br />and start to bleed <br /> <br />I am the one that worked two jobs <br />when things got tough <br />The one that did without <br />so you had enough <br /> <br />I am the one that mows the grass <br />the one that cuts the trees <br />The one that takes out the trash <br />and does it all for free <br /> <br />I am the one that loves you <br />no matter what you’ve done <br />That one that cares for you <br />like a guardian from above <br /> <br />The first one to stand <br />and the last one to sit <br />The one that makes you duck <br />so you don’t get hit <br /> <br />I am the first one here <br />the last one to leave <br />I am the end of the line <br />The buck stops with me!<br /><br />Rusty (Ed) Gibson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-buck-stops-with-me/
