You taught me how to say your name and then to spell
mine.
and the importance of being patient when it seems I am last in line.
You told me if I do what is right then good things will come to me
and I have always lived by that rule and hoped that you would see.
All my life in every way I have lived by the examples
you set
and everyone who knows me says I am the strongest person they have met.
But all the rules and lessons you never taught me this...
What to do when the teacher's out and classes must be missed
One last lesson daddy just one more time that's all...I swear.
Teach me how to use my wings so I can come up there.
