My Father

My father made me Not be rude Bless my food Know what’s good My father made me Sit up straight Tow my weight Be a teammate My father made me Help my mother Think of others Love my brothers My father made me Think like a man Do all I can Be what I am My father Made me

Well Brain may be a little too flattering (everybody misspells Brian). Such compliment is graciously acknowledged!
