Daddy you taught me games of life.
with the childhood games we played.
You never let me cheat;
I had to learn from the mistakes I made.
When it was my move,
I always wanted to prove I could win
But what I learned was to try again.
Daddy you taught me life's rules,
and those lessons Id never trade,
Each game you used as tools,
to prepare me for the path that fate has made.
If I don't lose the battles I have fought,
It's because of the lessons that you taught.
From one game you taught me to take a chance.
From another game you taught me in the rain to dance.
I learned when I prayed,
God takes away the mistakes I made.
Daddy you taught me lessons I wouldn't trade,
Those memories will never fade.
I learned to talk in the October shade;
I learned to walk on the path you paved.
