God saw you were getting tired,

You may have thought I didn't see, Or that I hadn't heard, Life lessons that you taught to me, But I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all, And that we ’ d grow apart, But Dad, I picked up everything, It ’ s written on my heart. Without you, Dad, I wouldn ’ t be The man I am today; You built a strong foundation No one can take away. I ’ ve grown up with your values, And there were many more than one.

And a cure was not to be,

So He put His arms around you

As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We're thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us . Love, Harmonica
