Work hard yet be humble,
share all that you have,
may be the most important of many lessons
that I have learned from my dad.
Protect and honor your family,
no matter what the cost.
A battle for your family
is a battle that can't be lost.
Take a stand for things that matter,
and always keep your head held up high.
Embrace those things close to your heart,
and yes, sometimes men do cry.
These lessons in life can not be taught,
they must be observed.
Happy birthday, Dad; you have taught me a lot,
and I love you for what I have learned.
Birthday Wishes To Dad
