Or perhaps you thought I hadn’t heard,
Everything you have ever taught me,
But I heard every single word.
I followed you quite closely,
Even when we were apart,
And dad I value almost everything,
I keep it close to heart.
Today I stand so strong,
From a foundation that was made,
Ive grown up with your values,
That for years now have stayed,
And for these lessons learned,
And for the effort you have shared,
I want to thank you proudly,
For every second that you cared.
