DAD

I love you because you're my father,
But you're really so much more;
You're a guide and a companion;
You and I have great rapport.


You pay attention to me;
You listen to what I say.
You pass on words of wisdom,
Helping me along the way.


Whenever I'm in trouble,
You always have a plan.
You are the perfect father,
And I'm your biggest fan!






my father my guiding light

Dad, you’re like the sun to me,
a sure thing, always there,
beaming light and warmth on my life.
Whatever is good in me today,
I owe to your wisdom, your patience,
your strength, your love.
You taught me by example,
as a role model,
how to be my own person,
how to believe in myself,
instructing me without controlling me.
Even when we disagreed,
you held us together,
so our bond was never broken.
I understand what you did for me,
and I am so grateful that I have you
as my solid foundation, my rock.
I respect you, I admire you, I love you,
my guiding light, my father.







You may have thought I didn't see,
or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father
From your forever grateful daughter.



Thank you for being my dad. I am so glad I have you as a dad. Thank you for all you did for me and continue to do for me.

Love Always
Emily
