Pulling Weeds

By Frogi59

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Thanks dad, You woke me   early, got me out of bed,  and put me straight to work.Thanks dad, You planned out  my day and filled it with  chores, only when I was done,  could I play.Thanks dad, I missed the   trip up to the mountains  with my friends, and I   never got to do anything  fun, until my chores were done.Thanks dad, It seems like   my only pass-time is pulling  weeds, digging holes, doing  chores and never really  getting paid.Thanks dad, for shaking my   hand and telling me,  'good job, you do good  work son.'Thanks dad, for giving me  respect and trust so when  my work was done, I used   my time wizely.Thanks dad, far giving me   character and teaching me  life's lessons like dependability  and reliability.Thanks dad, for being a friend  and putting me to work so  I learned to earn a living.Thanks dad, for everything I   am is from you.  I want  to be like you when I   grow up.Dad, you don't have to pay  me for the work I have  done.  We'll call it even.
