My Dad: Jim Carter
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
