I know sometimes it doesn't feel like it
but to 4 people,
you are the world

you are our hero,
our inspiration,
and our rock.

you are the trunk to our family tree,
winter, spring, summer and fall
when the branches get weak, you keep holding tight

sometimes the winds are strong, and the storms are harsh
but the bad weather makes the roots grow stronger
and without it, we wouldn't be who we are

you are optimistic,
hard working,
and never let a day go by without a "good morning, i love you" text

we wake up with smiles every morning because of you
we wake up with a roof over our heads and food on the table because of you

you have taught us how to fight for what we believe in,
how to stand up for who we are
and how to catch that 20 inch rainbow trout, or how to make up a good story if we don't

so this is for you dad,
our hero,
our inspiration,
our best friend,
and our provider

we love you
