Daddy

On your day

I just want to say

I love you

Cause you are so true

To this family and your children

We didn't have much

In material goods

In fact what you could call dirt poor

You worked so hard to provide

Usually 60 hours a week

To make sure we were clothed and fed

We didn't have a fancy car

It was a rusted out '72 pickup truck

But it was our rockstar

As we would go bumping down our gravel driveway

The place we called home

It was fallen down to say the least

But it was shelter

It was a three headed beast to fix up

You worked long hours

Often into the wee hours of the morning

To fix every hole and leak

But what people fail to see

Is that we were millionaires in love

With church every week

School everyday

You did your duty

Now, I want to say have a great father's day.
