Daddy Ain’t Perfect (But I’m Present)

(spoken, calm)

This one’s for my kids… I’m here, always.

⸻

I ain’t always had the answers or the words to say

Made mistakes along the way, but I never walked away

Sometimes life got heavy, but I stayed through the storm

Learned to love my kids different, beyond the norm

I’m a man who’s still growing, trying to be better each day

Even when I fall short, I’m here in every way

⸻

Daddy ain’t perfect, but I’m present

Through every tear, every lesson, every blessing

I’m here, even when the nights get long

Trying to give you love, keepin’ you strong

⸻

I might not always be the hero you dreamed

But my heart’s in every moment, more than it seems

When the world gets cold, and I’m not around

Remember Daddy’s love is always profound

⸻

Sometimes the weight get heavy, but I don’t let it show

Hiding all my fears, so your smile can grow

I’m learning patience daily, tryna break the chain

Wanna be the father who eases your pain

I’m not perfect, but my love’s real and true

Every step I take, I’m walking close to you

⸻

Daddy ain’t perfect, but I’m present

Through every tear, every lesson, every blessing

I’m here, even when the nights get long

Trying to give you love, keepin’ you strong

⸻

I won’t be the man with all the answers today

But my heart’s a compass, guiding all the way

You’re my reason, my fight, my greatest song

Daddy’s love is here, forever strong

⸻

I might not always be the hero you dreamed

But my heart’s in every moment, more than it seems

When the world gets cold, and I’m not around

Remember Daddy’s love is always profound
