You Didnt Have Too

You came into my life and were kind You didn't have too You tried my first meal when you didn't know me well, You didn't have too You spoke for hours about my life giving little time to speak about yours, You didn't have too You drove me to college with hours of stories about boys, You didn't have too You selflessly gave to everyone I brought home, you time, kind words, a meal You didn't have too You let me honor my dad and had him walk me down the aisle, it was your honor too, but You didn't have too You held Dylan and Daniel as grnadsons You didn't have too You taught me how to forgive and say I am sorry, You didn't have too You drove around day and night, You didn't have too You made me feel like a Princess but the photo that you took You didn't have too Because you chose to, even though you didn't have too I get to be a daughter and you get to be my dad Thank you for all the didn't have too's you chose to do I remember all and am grateful for you
