You may have thought I didn't see, <br />Or that I hadn't heard, <br />Life lessons that you taught to me, <br />But I got every word. <br /> <br /> <br />Perhaps you thought I missed it all, <br />And that we'd grow apart, <br />But Dad, I picked up everything, <br />It's written on my heart. <br /> <br /> <br />Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be <br />The girl I am today; <br />You built a strong foundation <br />No one can take away. <br /> <br /> <br />I've grown up with your values, <br />And I'm very glad I did; <br />So here's to you, dear father, <br />From your forever grateful kid<br /><br />Erica German<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dad-114/
