Dad

You were the one who taught me to ride a bike You pushed me forth And never let go Even when I resisted and kept saying no You never gave up Never Let me down If it didn't work out and i'd fall You'd pick me up And turned it all around If I made a mistake And I've made a few you left your opinions just for you You never judged no matter how you disagreed Even when i married young you still set me free You were always there when i needed you So Thank you for always loving me like i know you do.

Straightforward rhyme expressing your love and new understanding of your relationship. That's saying a lot with these few words. (should do a spell check: If i :I, did you want 2 capitalized words to follow each other: Never Let...and Ive requires an apostrophe I've. Nonetheless, it is a fine tribute to your father.
