If you could find someone who would throw you into the deep end, but still protect you. If you can find a person, who just has everlasting love for you. Or find someone who knows you, as well as you do. If you soar so high, but know that someone is standing down there to protect you. If you could find a man who loves you, more than anyone else could. Only then, would you have found a father, like I do. Happy Birthday dad. I love you"
