“Dad's Girl”

When I was little I stepped on your toes,

When I went to school, you gave me the tools,

When I was a teenager you taught me how to drive,

As I grew you taught me to pick my battles and fight right.

You also taught me how to stand and not back down.

You taught me there are good people and bad ones from all walks of life.

You taught me that I would be smarter than some people but dumber than others.

You taught me not to judge but look inside.

You taught me about the land, the stars, the universe, art, words,knowledge and to keep on learning know matter what.

When I got married you did not approve, but you acknowledged him.

You taught my kids how to fish, and took them here and there.

When I had a problem you listened, and would say have you considered this or thought about that? but you never told me what to do.

When you got older you kept right on going, not giving a inch, when you retired you keep on working for the resources and to just be around people in your ranger job.

When Mom died you missed her so........

When your health began to go.....still you were like steel....

I know now that steel can bend, but the blend was beautiful.

When you had to go it broke my heart....

to this very day though.....and always will I say

I am Dad's girl in every form and stance and will remain that way.

I am my Dad's daughter..........

Love you Dad and Happy Fathers Day......
