Poem
I have learned lessons And a lesson A lesson of love A lesson of accountability A lesson of trust A lesson of Prayer A lesson of family A lesson of silence These lessons And this lesson Have I learned from you I get each word And hold it so strong Maybe you thought By teaching me all this We would be tone apart? No way, Instead i have learned to treasure you more I know what it means To live without a dad But I now also know how sweet it is To live with a dad A real dad, a real father and friend I don’t think I would be what I am now Without you around You have sheltered me You have dressed me You have fed me You have fathered me Tirelessly You have showed me the way And walked there with me You have comforted me Always Even in your silence I learn a million lessons In you laughter I learn trillions In your walk I follow your foot steps You're the hero of my life The man I imitate daily The hope i hold to The miracle of my life I love you dad, And I can die saying that... I love you my dad Jim Carter Dedicated to the most wonderful man i know on the globe My Dad, Jim Carter.. Happy Father's day dad... You shine my life
