Step Dad

Step Dad
By: Brett Matthes

Through his words

I’ve discovered the past

Through his stoicism

I’ve discovered patience

Through his sorrow

I’ve discovered loss

Through his laughter

I’ve discovered humor

Through his anger

I’ve discovered rage

Through his actions

I’ve discovered love

Through his eyes

I’ve discovered myself

Everything I am

Everything I’ll be

Came from the man I call my dad
