My Father

YOU MIGHT NOT THINK YOUR PERFECT OR MAYBE NOT THE BEST.
BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I ADMIRE YOU AVOVE THE REST.
FOR WORKING SO HARD TO PROVIDE FOR ALL.
THANKS FOR BEING THERE AND ALWAYS STANDING TALL.
NO MATTER THE PROBLEM  OR THE TROUBLES THAT CAME.
THANKS FOR BEING TOUGH BUT SOFT ENOUGH 
TO STILL PLAY A KIDY GAME.
THANKS FOR ALL THE HUGS AND COMPASION YOU SHARE.
AND THANKS FOR TAKINGS THE BURDENS 
YOU DIDNT HAVE TO BARE
ALL THOUGH EVERYONE MUST GROW AND BECOME THERE OWN.
THANKS FOR ALL THE LIFE LESSONS YOU SO GRATEFULLY SHOWN.
YOU ALWAYS SAID YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU DESIRE.
NOW THAT YEARS HAVE PASSED I KNOW YOU WASNT A LIAR.
THANKS FOR BEING THERE TO CATCH ME WHEN I FALL.
THANKS FOR NEVER SAYING NO WHEN ASKED TO PLAY BALL.
THERES THINGS IN LIFE THAT EVERYONE HAS DONE WRONG.
BUT YOU SAID IN THE LONG RUN ITS WHAT MAKES US STRONG.
THERES A LESSON IN LIFE ALL MUST FIGURE OUT.
I BELEIVE ITS TRUE I KNOW THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT.
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT TIME HAVE SLIPPED AWAY.
THATS NOT TRUE JUST REMEMBER ITS  
A BEGINING OF A NEW DAY.
THANKS AGAIN FOR ALWAYS KEEPING THAT OPEN EAR.
ITS A GREAT PLACE TO TELL THE DARKEST AND DEEPEST FEAR.
ON THIS PAPER I HAVE SAID THANKS MANY TIMES.
I MEAN IT EVEN THOUGH I PUT THEM ALL IN A RHYME.
ONE DAY A YEAR IS NOT ENOUGH NOT EVEN TWO.
THATS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GIVE PROPER THANKS TO YOU.
SOME  MIGHT CALL YOU HONEY UNCLE BROTHER OR EVEN FRIEND
BUT I KNOW YOUR TRUE NAME THAT YOU
 WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO END.
 I SAY BEFORE EVERYONE IM PROUD HAPPY 
AND JUST ULTEMETLY GLAD.
THAT  I HAVE THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT, 
PRIVILAGE AND HONOR TO CALL YOU MY DAD.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS DAD.
