(for the invisible stepparents)
it's ok
I saw you on December 9th
when I took you to the
emergency room when
you had bronchitis
and I spent time with you
on October 22nd when you needed
help with your algebra homework
and we were together on
June 2nd in that broiling garage
when we were trying to fix your bike
and I remember our dinner
on November 29th when we
went all out to Jose's for Mexican food
and we were together when
I took you to the orthodontist
on July 8th
and I remember taking you
to Dr. Girard's every other Wednesday
for the past year
and I remember we spent
quality time as I waited for you
when we went to the barber
and we had fun
when we played "Aggravation"
last February
before we all went to the
George Jones concert
for Mom's birthday
and I know your dad asked
to see you for Father's Day
and he doesn't ask
to see you often
so, don't worry about me
my memories and I will be fine
as we travel the high road
this Father's Day
just like we've done
in previous years
besides I'm not really your father
and it just wasn't my weekend
again.
