You are my teacher
Showing me things I've never known
My life has been a journey
Through which our bond has grown

I went from a little girl
To a smart, hyper teen
Every stunt I try to pull
Are ones you've already seen

I remember back when
We used to play with my toys
Now you're like my best friend
Helping me deal with the boys

You tell me what to expect
That the boys come and go
You have my utmost respect
Believe me when I tell you so

You've helped me shop for make-up
Without a glimmer of shame
I take about three hours
Never once have you complained

Thank you for your heartfelt advice
Even when it went through my ears
Sometimes I must be reminded twice
'Cause I think im wise beyond my years

Words can never fully express my gratitude
Poems can't effictively sum up my love
Sorry for always giving you attitude
And leaving the house without kisses and hugs

Love Joanna

If you watched me reading this ... you would have seen me smiling Joanna. You took me back a few years, and I loved it.

This is a wonderful tribute of appreciation for your dad ... I hope he enjoyed it!

Best wishes,
/Kit

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.
