I want to honor all the lessons of my father.

Thank you for teaching me to work hard,
for it is when we put our full effort and heart into everything we do
that we reap the rewards.
~
Thank you for teaching me to be honest,
for it is when we honor our words and actions
that consequences and troubles are avoided.
~
Thank you for teaching me that I must always forgive,
for it is when we show love to those who have hurt us,
we feel whole in our hearts.
~
Thank you for always being silly,
for it is when we stay light in our hearts
that the troubles of life seem insignificant.
~
Thank you for always protecting me,
for it is when we show the utmost care and concern for others,
that they are reminded of their importance to us.
~
Thank you for showing me that
actions speak louder than words,
for it is through our actions that the truth of our heart shines through.
