IT TAKES MORE THAN BLOOD


It takes more than blood to be a dad.

Oh this is surely a proven fact.


I've seen men give their hearts to a child,

Never once thinking of taking it back.


A Dad is the one who is always there,

He protects a child from all harm.


He gives a child the assurance that he

will be their anchor in any storm.


A real Dad is a man that teaches his child

all the things in life he needs to know.


He's the tower of strength a child leans on.

The source of love that helps them grow.


There are men that children call Daddy.

Oh, he is their shelter when it rains.


He showers them with unconditional love.

As if it were his blood in their veins.


Whenever you meet a Dad that redefines the word,

honor him with all the respect that is due.


Understand that he proudly wears this banner,

Because his heart is big enough for you.


It's sad but true that not all men understand

it takes more than blood to be a dad.


Someday if they wake up to their empty life

They shall miss what they could have had.


To those men who will never be a dad

No matter what they say or do.

It takes more than blood to possess that title

And it's only found in a man like you.
