My Dad
by a child in Friends programIn my ocean you are a rowboat because you keep
me up when I am down.
In my grassy field you are a flower because you're
bright and you smell good.
In my stadium you are a hat because you protect
me from things that scare me.
In my dream home you are the front door because
I can keep things open to you.
In the book about my life you are the introduction
because I first came from you.
In my world of music you are the beat that keeps
my rhythm flowing.
In my galaxy you are a star because that one star
means you.
