hearing the future

I would ride on your shoulders

And look out on the world..

Pretending I was big and tall like you..

When you were there to hold me

I never was afraid

You made me feel there’s nothing I can’t do.

As I kept on growing

We often disagreed

But you let me find myself in my own way..

And it’s funny, how just lately

I’ve come to recognize..

How wise you are becoming every day..

There’s so much you’ve given me

I hope I’ve made you proud..

You’re everything a Dad should be

And it’s time to tell you now.

You’re my hero..

You didn’t have to say a word

Your love was the message that I heard..

Inspiring me to be all I can be

You’re my hero..

And ‘cause you’re my Dad…

I’m twice as blessed and lucky to be me <3
