This one's for dad

Dad: A Poem of Thanks


My Dad is super, my Dad is great!
So many things about him that I appreciate.

You taught me how to swim, drive, ride a cycle;
Took my class on a field trip to learn how to recycle.

You built us things like our tree house and this sand castle with a driftwood drawbridge- so cool:
You'd tread water under the diving board to catch me once I jumped into the pool.

Patiently explained fractions, algebra, and multiplication,
Contributed an engineer's design perspective to give us the best Lego creation:
Paid for my braces to fix my crooked smile,
On wedding day walked me down the aisle.

I could go on and on about how lucky I am to call you my dad,
I can't thank you enough for all the fun childhood memories we had.

Happy Father's Day from me to you,
I love you so much for all that you do!
