My Number #1st Man

If i could write a story,

It would be the greatest ever told.

I'd write about my daddy.

A firm but loving touch,

Is what you gave to me.

He helped me learned how to be strong

And stand on my two feet.

My dad, he was no hero known around this world.

He was everything to me, for i was his baby girl.

i'd write about the lessons.

He taught me right from wrong.

He instilled me in the values that one day i'd be strong.

He taught me to face my fears, take each day as it comes,

For there are things that we can't change.

He would say what's done is done.

He would say hold your head up high,

Carry yourself with pride.

You may have thought i didn't see,

Or that i hadn't heard,

Life lessons you 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, i wouldn't be the person 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.

Thanks to you, i am somebody,

I will never run and hide.

So here's to you dear father,

From your forever grateful kid.
