A Father is Someone

bar

A father is someone who

can never be thanked enough
or shown enough appreciation
for all that he does.
Yet I've spent so little time
doing those very things.

My gratitude for you, Dad,
is always right inside my heart,
for I do know that I have
the world's best father.
I just don't seem to bring
my gratitude out into the open
often enough for you to see.
I guess I've always expected you to
just know the way I feel about you.

But maybe I've taken something
for granted --
maybe I assume you know
that every time
I say, "I love you, Dad,"
I'm also saying "Thank you"
from my heart.

-- Barbara J. Hall
