Analysis of My Dad

Leon Goff 1980 (Mobile AL)



He is the one man I love
Except the man above
Everyday he gives his family his all
Even when we stumble or fall
Unconditionally my dad's love pours
That make me glad he is mine and not yours
When the world seems to hit me like a marching band
He is always there to reach out his hand
He is there by my side when things go bad
