Imagine my surprise when I heard
That you felt you didn't do enough for us.
That you didn't provide what we needed.
I'm here to let you know,
I'm sorry if we didn't show you
That your love and work ethic
Meant more to us, than coins or the latest fashion.
That you huffing and puffing
As you entered school on a Saturday
Straight from work,
Meant more than the awards we received.
That our achievements were built
On your labor and love
On your interest in our lives
In your pride in us, as your children.
Money could never buy
What you gave us and taught us
Even though people would trade their wealth
To have had a father like you,
When they were young and impressionable.
You provided, Dad,
Something that cannot be measured
Or separated from who we are today.
