I remember when I was a kid
My dad used to read to me
He'd read me all sorts of things
From Dr. Seuss to Shakespeare
I loved those times
When we would cuddle up together
And he would read to me
In his warm and soothing voice
He made me love poetry
And made me appreciate the beauty of words
He taught me how to see the world
In a different way
I'm so grateful to my dad
For all the wonderful memories
For giving me the love of poetry
And for teaching me how to appreciate the beauty of words
He was a great dad
And I'm so lucky to have had him
