There are times
Where it may seem
We are separated
By many miles
But in my heart
You are always near

You are a great teacher
And father
But most of all
You are my dearest friend

It is an honor when people ask
Who is your dad?
And I can point to you
With a proud smile and say
That’s him

Your extraordinary efforts
To set a good example
And the love you shared
With me made my life better

I am very fortunate
To have you as my Father

Thank you
