Thank You Dad

A Boy's Father's Day Thank You

Beth Inman
Daddy come and catch my baseball,

Come and see how fast I run.

Daddy will you take me fishin'?

We'll both have so much fun.

Dad can I have the keys...

I really won't go far.

I promise I'll be careful,

Will you let me take the car?

Dad I'm sure you're gonna' like her...

She's an awful lot like Mom.

Yes, you know here father,

And where her family is from.

Dad, I'm grown now with a family,

And you've done all you can.

I want to thank you a lot, Dad...

For raising me to be a man.
