This is one of the favorite things I have ever written. I wrote it as a gift for my father's birthday in 2003. I wanted so badly to let him know I felt so thankful. I was almost done with school, getting the big job and he's my world...he's my best friend. i knew this would be my last birthday with him since he was ill. no gift could cut it...so it was words instead. and I'm happy to say, he told me it was his favorite gift he ever received from his favorite daughter.

You are my strength
As I am your strength
You are my rock
From which I step into the journey of my life
You surround me with love
As I surround you with love
In our weakest hour
We won't be alone
In our strongest, bravest hour
We'll be able to shine
You've helped make me who I am
And I've helped you become you
As I am pieces of you
You are my foundation
I love you dad
