The Greatest Man I Know

There is a man of grand stature
He is admired near and far by many
He is old and wise and trustworthy
He makes me smile when I think of him
He makes me laugh when I least expect it 
He gives me advice whether I need or want it
He is my hero, he is my everything
Without him I would be lost 
With him in my life I have the greatest thing in the world
I have my dad

Thank you everybody I am very excited that I won and I will be telling my dad tonight. We have had some bad weather and some electrical problems so this is the first chance I have had to see that I have won the contest.

Thank you I did not think I would win. I just looked and seen I won. We had a lot of bad weather and this is the first time I had a chance to get on here. I am very excited and I will tell my dad as soon as I have the chance to.
