Analysis of Step-Dad
You missed me as a child,
Never seen my first steps taken,
But you have witnessed much more than that,
In this life's journey I am making.
The building blocks may be different,
Many seeds that went un-planted,
And although your blood don't flow through mine,
You're my Dad that God has granted.
