Dad!
You are the one who 
wants to catch me before I fall,
but instead picks me up, brushes me off,
and lets me try again. 
You are the one who 
wants to keep me from making mistakes,
but instead lets me venture through the world,
and helps me find my own way.
You are the one who
holds me when I cry,
shines with pride when I succeed,
and above all,
always has faith in me, no matter what.
Thank you & I love you!
