Thank You

              Thank you Daddy,
              For not beating us or our Mother;
              For not being an alcoholic;
              For always trying to set a good example.

              Thank you Daddy,
              For making us go to church;
              For teaching us not to argue religion or politics.

              Thank you Daddy,
              For coming home from work
              And playing whiffle ball or badminton with us;
              For teaching me how to cook;
              And for teaching us all to never give up.

              Thank you Daddy,
              For the endless hours of listening
              To me practice my singing;
              And telling me I could be a star.

              Most of all,
              Thank you Lord,
              For making him my Daddy.

              I love you Daddy and I miss you!
