how could i put it to words- what you meant to me?
my father, my teacher, my brother, my centerpiece.

when i came home crying 'cause i did something wrong
you told me it's ok and held me in your arms

when i was discouraged, you pushed me to believe i could
and you were there to wipe my tears when no one else would

you never changed your view of me
you always kept it real with me
i will always love you for that
and there is no way i could pay you back

you sacrifced your life to buy me things
and you always supported my dreams
when tomorrow comes after the dark of night
you will always be in my heart with golden light

when that tragic day comes where you have to leave me
i know i will survive- 'cause of the man u made out of me

i just want to thank you 
...for showing me unconditonal love
