Dedication For Dad

You would ask me what I think of you And I'd respond with a simple "I love you" But there are things in that "I love you" that I include I love how when I'd be tap dancing While everyone would be laughing You'd be the one clapping I love how when we're singing in the car I'd always think "What a great singer you are" I love your addiction to coffee Although, you really should try stopping I love when a funny joke is said You'd turn a deep shade of red I love how to me You're the funniest person in the world I'll always be your little girl And I love how you'll be home more There's going to be popcorn galore! Most of all, I love how you love God Always teaching his way to us To be upstanding and just So you see All these things Are wrapped in that one "I love you" And I intend it to stay Forever that way It's all true "I love you" NOTE: This was written for my Dad's Retirement Party. He's going to be home a LOT more now and he so deserves it after 50 years of hard labor. :)

Sorry for the late reply (all that "roughing it in the woods" and what not). This was very endearing, and I think it's great he'll be able to spend more time with you now - I know I would with my dad. Great work!

Great dedication for your dad. He must be a great dad as is evidenced by his thoughtful and sweet daughter. I am sure he is very proud of you.

Humanity needs to make more loving declarations like this to those they love. This was tremendous.
