I have cherished our relationship, Dad,
And the memories now are mine.

All my life spent with you
Was spent quality time.

Searching all over town for
The best parks we could find.

Going to the lake and learning
How to cast out the line.

Watching the eclipse through
The depths of the night.

Hitting all the museums
And seeing all the sights.

Putting on your big cowboy boots
And playing pretend.

Setting up the tent to camp
Almost every weekend.

Wrapping my little arms around your
Waist and standing on your feet.

You'd dance us all around
And I thought it was so neat.

What I hold closest to my heart
Once again we had the chance.

I held onto you again
And you led me in the dance.
