Daddy,
I had such a good day at school
I did my work and tried not to talk
When my teacher was speaking
It was so very hard Daddy,
But I just thought of you
And it helped me to be good
Dad,
College is really rough
The courses are so hard
The temptations are too great
I know how very much you
Have invested in me
So I will try to keep
On the straight and narrow
Remember me in your prayers
Father
Remember when I told you
I could not wait to grow up
I was wrong, I could have waited
A family, a mortgage, a job
It seems too much to bear
But I have always been careful
To listen to your advice
So that is really what I am
Depending on right now,
That and our conversations.
Thanks for being the kind of father
I could always look up to
And never afraid to talk to
Daddy,
It is just you and me now
I won’t be bringing anyone
Else along on this trip
It has been a rough road
At times, but a good one
I have not always made the
Best choices, but you have
Stuck by me and loved me
No matter what I did
I am anxious to see you
It’s been a long time
God, I am ready when you are.
Jo
