You Taught Me

You taught me to walk,

You taught me to read,

You taught me how to love 
and how to lead..

You taught me to slow down and take a breath, 

You taught me that nothing will separate us.. even death. 

You taught me how to stand up when life knocks you down, 

You taught me that “my smile is too pretty to frown”

You taught me wrong from right, 

You taught me never raise your hands first in a fight, 

You taught me that life isn’t always going to be fair,

You taught me it’s okay to show people you care,

You taught me everything dad, except how to live without you..
