FIRST BREATH

You raised me from a girl
Into a young woman all on your own
And every night you tucked me up in bed
When mummy wasn't home 
You told me bedtime stories
Made me breakfast every morning
You gave me the only real affection
That I've ever known
I hope you knew what I couldn't say out loud
When I grow up 
I hope I make you so very proud
I know at times you got scared
When things got a little rough
Raising 3 kids on your own 
Can feel really tough 
You're  my inspiration 
From my first breath taken 
Don't ever feel like you could have
Done more 
dad you did enough
I wanna say thank you for all you've done
You weren't just my dad but also my mum.
