Happy Birthday to my Daddy, who taught me right from wrong. The one thing I can take with me from all my experiences with him is the value of hard work. Though we didn’t grow up with much, he spent hours everyday working to make sure we had enough food on our table. I want to be the same as him.
I want to try to instill the same values of hard work in my students, although their lack of motivation to do anything is rather off putting.
What’s a dad for dad?
Taught me how to stand, dad
Took me by the hand and you showed me how to be a bigger man, dad
Listen when you talk, dad
Follow where you walk, dad
And you know that I will always do the best I can
I can
Father I will always be (always be)
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me (over me)
Now I’m older I want to be the same as you
The same as you
