Sideline Father

SIDELINE FATHER Yes I am a father, although I sometimes don't feel deserving Of that name. Because of how you came into my life was different, but I love you just the same. People say what we have is unconventional, but I tell them that you chose me. And I'll honor that everyday I swear even if others can't see. See why I love you when I don't even have to, I tell them it's simple, because that's what I was meant to do. And to go from being there everyday, to being stuck on the side is a pain even on my worst enemy I wouldn't wish. But that is all that I have and I'll take whatever I can get. People say I do too much when I'm not even required to and they always ask why. I tell them you being happy is what I live for and I'll do it til I die. Yes it's painful and yea it's hard not having you all the time. but I'll never give up, I'll always be here even if it's on the sideline. Hearing you call another man dad sometimes strikes me to my Core. But I dust myself off, wipe my eyes and remind myself a title isn't what I'm here for. I LOVE YOU please believe me that it's true. Trust in me, believe in me, don't listen to what she tells you. I am your FATHER, just not in the conventional way. I'm the guy who stepped up because your real one was away. It's true loving you was never part of my plan. But he wasn't there, and mommy needed help, and well she was my friend. So I started to help and little by little my love grew. And here we are 6 years later and I'm still grateful to have you. Long story short no I'm not always there, so I thought I should explain. Me and mommy are no longer friends, And because of that things changed. But I'll always love you even when you don't see me. Just trust son I'm in the crowd and I promise I'm cheering… signed a sideline father ?
