Our telepathy is such a beautiful gift,
and it's one that I treasure and behold,
and I'm so looking forward to our future,
to our future stories, as yes unwritten and untold.
You gave me the courage to follow in your steps,
and at the end of day, that?s the greatest gift of all,
as Dad, because of you I walk taller,
in fact, I feel like I?m ten feel tall!
I remember your beautiful speech and the chocolates,
and never has there been a more thoughtful gift,
but I just got embarrassed and then pathetically angry,
now I just realize you were trying to give me a lift.

you bought me a puppy, (NAME), for my birthday,
and truly, that was the best gift there ever will be.
You lead at home as well as in the business,
and that leadership has always brightly shone,
so just know that I love you very much,
and our great times together are not done and gone.
Well, I think "you", are indeed, my real gift,
because I love you truly, with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
Because you have persistently and consistently loved us,

In truth, he's been very successful in the plumbing business,
kitchens and baths and as mentioned before, the odd john,
but he says it how it is, his pipes are pretty straight,
