Single Dad <br /> <br />The kids grew up without a mum around, <br />I had to play a double roll instead; <br />I often tripped while travelling strange ground <br />But somehow they were clothed and washed and fed! <br />Most times they had to go without a lot <br />And often made the most of second best, <br />But they were satisfied with what they got <br />And always held their own among the rest. <br />But we were happy - that's a great big yes <br />And made it through the shadows as a team; <br />We had our failures but we found success, <br />We had our nightmares, but we made our dream. <br />It all seems very long ago somehow <br />And worth it, too - for you should see them now!<br /><br />Terry Donovan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/single-dad/
