I Thank You Dad, Today

by ©Marilyn Ferguson

Thoughts of you come drifting back
Within this heart of mine
I take a trip to yesterday
Another day in time.

A time when I was growing up
And you were always there
Put to the test, you did your best
You handled things with care.

For holding out, not giving in
When others got their way
For saying no, my strength did grow
I thank you dad, today.

To you, I owe so many thanks
For teaching right from wrong
For many lectures you bestowed
I sing a different song.

I thank you for the sacrifice
Of working everyday
For all you’ve given in this life
I’m thanking you today.

I thank you for your faith so strong
For many days in church
For leading me to Jesus Christ
I did not have to search.

For all I am, I owe to you
You surely led the way
So many lessons learned in life
I thank you dad, today.
