Lessons Learned From a Father

Why don't we take the time

To count the lessons learned from our Father?

Put in writing the faith, wisdom, and values

Given to us unselfishly



Do I even realize all that he has given?

All that was sacrificed and shared

For my benefit?

What is the best way to say thank you

For a lifetime of gifts

That did not come with ribbons and bows



All went to the clay

That shaped who I have become

His loving hands sculpting my core

Guiding me with love and truth

Then letting me stand on my own



Maybe if I face each day

Going forward with respect and integrity

Accepting my failures

- written by Kurt J.



And taking responsibility for my actions

If I never gloat at my victories

Nor let them go to my head



If I am humble and kind

Taking care to share with my children

What was given to me

Or maybe I just say

Thank you, Dad

Thank you.



Sincerely,

Chris & Dan
