My Dad My Hero

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
it’s written on my heart.
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
You make me feel protected;
I'm sheltered by your care.
You have a place of honor
deep within my heart.
Dad, you’re like the sun to me,
a sure thing, always there,
you taught me by example,
How to be myself,
you are my superhero Dad,
and always been from the start.
