The early mornings. The things you carried so I would not have to. The way you showed up, even tired, even when no one was watching.
I noticed. I always noticed. Press play — this says what I never found the words for.

To my dad
There are words I should have said
More than once
More than I did
For every time you showed up
Even when you were tired
For every time you stood beside me
When I needed you most
For the lessons you never called lessons
The things I learned just watching you
You gave me more than I understood
Until I grew up
And now I see
What I couldn’t see before
To my dad
I hope you know
You mattered more than you could ever know
Every step I take
Has something of you in it
To my dad
Wherever life may lead me
I’ll carry your voice
I’ll carry your love
And I’ll carry you with me
For all the times you worried
And kept it to yourself
For every burden you carried
So I could carry less
I may not need your hand
To find my way anymore
But there will never be a day
I don’t need my dad
If I could give you something back
For all the years you gave to me
I’d give you every moment
You thought nobody noticed
I noticed
I always did
To my dad
I hope you know
You mattered more than you could ever know
Every step I take
Has something of you in it
To my dad
Wherever life may lead me
I’ll carry your voice
I’ll carry your love
And I’ll carry you with me
So if you ever wonder
What you left behind
Look at me
It’s everywhere
To my dad
I love you
