Thank You For My Father

Thank You for My Father By Franklin Price 5/25/2015 Thank you God for giving me The father that you did I think of him in my old age Unlike when I was a kid The many things he taught me Have made me who I am today I really like the one I am Can't think of any other way I Believe in God and Jesus Think of my fellow man Give of myself to others Almost every chance I can Try not to think I'm better Than any race or creed Earn my money fairly Do not cheat to aid my greed Can build a house repair a car And fix the kitchen sink Treat others as I would myself Think those who don't just stink Lost him in June of sixty-four The month I graduated school The lessons that I learned from him Still guide me and still rule So God I know you're watching As I write this poem today Please pass along to Daddy These few words I've had to say
