My Daddy

For My Daddy

I am blessed
and thankful too
in having a daddy
as wonderful as you

You gave your us  your love
a fine family too
when you gave us your best
in all that you do

When times were hard
you still came through
there was bread on our table
and shiny new shoes

You worked so hard
and momma did too
to provide for your family
and keep us in school

You've made another birthday
God's blessing for you
I love you daddy
so, Happy eighty-two
