A Father's Day Tribute

You may not be my father by blood,
But you've always been there like you should.
You've loved and cared for me all the same,
And for that, I am forever changed.

My Step-Dad, My Hero

You came into my life when I was young,
And ever since then, you've been my rock.
Through thick and thin, you've always been there,
My step-dad, my hero, my guide.

Thank you for always being there,
For all the love and unconditional care.

But in my heart, you'll always be my shining cue.

A Grateful Daughter's Words

You've shown me what it means to be strong,
To persevere and not give up when things go wrong.

A Father's Love

From the moment we met,
You took me under your wing,
And though we're not blood,
You've always been my everything.

You helped me grow up,
And taught me right from wrong,
And even when I stumbled,
You were there to keep me strong.

Now I'm all grown up,
But I know you're always there,
And I just want to say,
I love you, stepfather, with all my heart and care.

My Steadfast Supporter

When my world turned upside down,
My stepfather was there to catch me,
With open arms and a helping hand,
He lifted me up, so I could see.

Through all the tough times,
He's never once let me down,
And every step of the way,
He's been my steadfast supporter and clown.

I don't know what I'd do without you,
Stepfather, my rock and my friend,
But I do know one thing for sure,
Our bond will never, ever end.

Family

My Second Dad

You came into my life,
And became so much more,
Than just my mom's husband,
You became my second dad, that's for sure.

You've always been there for me,
For every laugh, cry, and frown,
And I know I can count on you,
Whenever I need a confidant around.

I may not have been born to you,
But you're my family through and through,
And I just want to say thanks,
For being the best stepfather in the land, always calm and blue.

The Man Who Stepped Up

There's a man in my life
Who wasn't there from the start
But he loves me like his own
And he's always played the part

He didn't have to take on
The responsibility he did
But he chose to be my stepdad
And for that, I'm forever grateful, kid

He's taught me many things
Like how to change a tire
And even though I'm grown now
I still feel his guidance and his fire

He's shown me what it means
To be there for someone else
To give selflessly of yourself
And to always be your best

When I think of all the times
That he's been there for me
I am overcome with gratitude
And for him, I'll always be

He never treated me different
From his biological kin
And although we're not related by blood
Our bond is as strong as any kin

He's earned my respect and admiration
For all the sacrifices he's made
He's always been there for me
Whenever I'm in need of aid

So to my dear stepdad
Who stepped up when he didn't have to
I want you to know I love you
And I'm grateful for all that you do

You've made a difference in my life
One that cannot be undone
And I'm blessed to have you in my life
Forever and afar, my number one.
