An Ode to Dad... 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, Or knew one day we’d part, 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 morals, And I'm so very glad I did; So here's to you, dear father, From your forever grateful kid.
