On My Side

You are that special someone
I've always treasured most.
You are one of my favourite things
Just like chicken roast.

I love that green juice that you make
Even though it's gross.
The first time I have a sip of wine
I'll give you a special toast.

I love the how you are always on my side
Even when I'm mad.
You are that special guy I know
I'm glad you are my dad.

I love how you're understanding
Just because I'm me.
I like how you are never like a
Person who is angry.

I love how you always help me
When I need it most.
I would talk about you all day
And maybe even boast.

I love your cooking even when
You're not in the mood.
Plain or fancy, I don't care,
I still love your food.

And finally, I love
Your big, warm sweet cuddles at night.
I also love how you are always
Well and always truly right.
