I love my daddy

January will be here before we know it.
That will mark twenty-three years
Twenty-three years that I have been
The apple of your eye

Twenty-three years ago
We began a journey together
One in which we never knew
What the next curve would hold

Twenty-three years ago
Before we had even met for the first time
Before I took my first breath
You were wrapped around my little finger

Twenty-three years ago
You became a father
More than that though
You became my daddy

For twenty-three years
We share a special bond
One that no one can match
One that no one can break

For twenty-three years
You have been my guide
Supported my decisions
Even if you didn't agree

For twenty-three years
God has allowed you
To be my daddy
I am forever grateful

For twenty-three years
You have taken care of me
Never expected a thank you
Never sought appreciation

So now, for the years to come
Let us be be able to return that favor
To take care of you
In your time of need

For the years to come
I will cherish the time
However much time we have
You will never be a burden

For the years to come
We will be grateful for today
Because we know that tomorrow
Tomorrow is not guaranteed

For the years to come
No one else can replace you
No one else will ever be able to
Not even when you've gone

For the years I've lived
And the years to come
I will always be yours
I will always love you

For everything you've done
For everything you will do
For everything you've supported
For every tear you've caught

Thank You Daddy
Thank You so much
Your love has helped make me
Who I am today
