Dad
You may have thought I didn?t see,
or that I hadn?t heard.
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all
and that we?d grow apart.
But dad I picked up everything,
It?s written on my heart.
Without you dad I wouldn?t be
The man I am today,
You built a strong foundation
no one can take away.
I?ve grown up with your values
and I?m very glad I did
So heres to you dear father
from your forever grateful kid.
Alan, Carol and family
