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
