The First Man

He's the first man I rememeber The first to hold me tight The first to wipe my tears and say Everything would be alright He's the first to say "I love you" And kiss me on the cheek The first to help me ride my bike And give me confidence to speak He's the first to give a lecture Or laugh at my corny joke The first to take me to the ER In case a bone I had broke He's the first to teach me honesty The first to show me strength The first to show that in loving others Sometimes you have to go the greater length The first to teach me that standing for the right Is the best choice every time The first to show me that family and integrity Are worth much more than dimes He's the first man God placed in my life To give teaching and share laughter and tears I'm so thankful for this man I call my dad And I pray God gives us many more years
