Thank You Dad

Today I will remember
Everything he's done
In the past, present, and future
Raising his daughter and his son

He was there when mom died
He took care of us alone
Not once did he ever say
It was something we had done

He just raised us best he could
Was a mom and a dad
Taught us about God and life
Gave us everything he had

He taught me many sports
He pushed me all the way
And even now that I'm grown up
He pushes me further each day

Though sometimes he pushed too hard
To a point that I want to cry
But I look back on it and thank him
Because now I understand why

He knew that I could do it
I just needed a wanting to try
His words of critique were really a way
To motivate me inside

So thank you dad for everything
For teaching me all you knew
You're the best dad I could ask for
Thanks Dad, I love you.

*To a loving father
