You've Been



From of beginning as child,
You've been my shoulder to lean,
And my hand on to hold,
When I needed a lead,
You've been my director,
When I just didn't know,
Along with my true inspiration,
You've been mine to grow,
You've been my great joy,
When I so sought for great gladness,
Along with my true thought to hold,
Whenever I felt of deep sadness,
You've been by my side,
Whenever I'ld ever feel lost,
Along with given me your best,
Even without the thought of it's cost,
Which is why I do feel,
Of the honor you deserve,
There is no dad greater than you,
None of which I've ever heard.

Happy Father's Day
