Thank You

Thank you for protecting me
When I was a little child
Thank you for correcting me
When I acted pretty wild

Thank you for teaching me
The value of hard work
Thank you for the tolerance
When I acted like a jerk

There are times that I still wish
We could go and play some catch
Or maybe go fishing
Down by the old iron bridge
I never dreamed that we would
Live our lives apart
Love you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for praising me
When I was being good
Thank you for loving me
Just like a father should

Thank you for playing with me
When you were so tired
Thank you for encouragement
That helped me be inspired

There are times that I still wish
We could go and play some catch
Or maybe go fishing
Down by the old iron bridge
I never dreamed that we would
Live our lives apart
Love you from the bottom of my heart.
