STEP DADS

This is for step dads,
who step in for fathers who stepped,
who step up to be real fathers,
real figures spending real time,
real currencies on their step children.
Even when they miss a step they are quick to step up.

This is for step dads who did not see their children’s first steps,
they met them when they were all grown and confused, trying to break free.
So this has to be about step dads whose love is free,
who are kind, who are patient,
whose love cannot be boxed by bloodlines.

This is definitely about step dads who are rare,
who care,
who are always there,
who worked their way to fit perfectly into family photos with their step children.

This is not just about step fathers, this is for all fathers who step up.
