You taught me how to say your name and then to spell <br />mine. <br />and the importance of being patient when it seems I am last in line. <br />You told me if I do what is right then good things will come to me <br />and I have always lived by that rule and hoped that you would see. <br />All my life in every way I have lived by the examples <br />you set <br />and everyone who knows me says I am the strongest person they have met. <br />But all the rules and lessons you never taught me this... <br />What to do when the teacher's out and classes must be missed <br />One last lesson daddy just one more time that's all...I swear. <br />Teach me how to use my wings so I can come up there.<br /><br />Monica Dockery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lessons-from-daddy/
