Thank You!

Thank you for being a Father I can look up to
Thank you for the sacrifices seen and unseen
Thank you for the countless hours you've worked to provide for us
Thank you for showing me how to love
Thank you for instilling discipline in me so I may learn how to live
Thank you for the behind beatings and the punishments for they taught me the lessons needed in those moments
Thank you for blazing a trail so that I may walk down
Thank you for putting me on third base
But I know the game isn't over yet
I thank you, Dad, your selfless love inspires me
Your confidence in being your authentic self breathes life into me
Your smile brings me joy
Your tears shed are never wasted, but show that every man must express himself
Your wisdom instilled in me will not be given for naught
I love you, Dad
Thank you
