Cover Verse:

For My Dad

“Children Do Not Realize”

I used to think I knew it all,
which seems so funny now -
In younger days, I thought I had
life figured out, somehow,
Yet all along you understood
far more than I could see,
As you offered patient guidance,
leaving choices up to me...

Inside Verse:

You'd cheer for my successes
with deep and honest pride,
And when I made mistakes
you'd always say,
“I'm glad you tried”...

And though I have
still more to learn,
one thing I know is true -
I'm luckier than anyone,
because my dad is you.

Happy Birthday, Dad
