Dad I Love You, too

One day a father had a fight
With his youngest son
They fought and fought, back and forth
But neither of them won

And so the little boy stormed off
To his bedroom up the stair
"I hate him, oh, so very much
Let him see that I don't care"

And so he thought he'd leave note
Yes, that is what he'd do
He left it on the bottom step
And put 'Daddy, I do hate you'

And so he waited, some time passed
And another note lay there
This time it was from Dad to son
And said 'I love you and I care'

"Huh, he won't win me like that
I'll leave another on the stair
And I will write to my horrid Dad"
'I still hate you and don't care'

But the Dad was a kind and patient man
And he knew just what to do
He left another little note
Simply saying 'I love you'

The boy read it and then he said
"I know what I must do"
And so he wrote just one last note
And put 'Dad, I love you too'
