For My Dad

I've heard stories of when I was born The celebrations that went along I've seen the love that you taught You never said it, but you always showed it The foundation you set in us The spirit with which you directed us You never said much And your presence was always respected Thank you for believing in me more than anyone else Am always thankful for your support Your inspirations still live on Protecting me all the way through
