You didn't give me wings but you taught me to fly.

You didn't educate me but you taught me so much

You didn't argue with what I wanted to do but you challenged me to make me understand why I wanted to do it

You didn't raise me but you helped me to grow

You didn't show me the answers but you taught me to see them myself

You didn't shelter me but you kept me safe

You didn't stop my tears but you let me cry on your shoulder

You didn't lecture me but you taught me to be right

You didn't expect me to have all the answers but you taught me to ask the right questions

You didn't push me but you guided me in the right directionYou didn't chide me when I made mistakes but you showed me how to correct them

You didn't raise me up but you provided the foundation so I never fellEvery once in awhile a miracle comes alongIt is a gift given to us by the heavenly FatherIt is called a friend and that's what you areSo thank you for teaching me to flyThank you for challenging me to understandThank you for teaching me to see the answer myselfThank you for letting me cry on your shoulderThank you for teaching me to ask the right questionsThank you for showing me how to correct my mistakesAnd thank you for being a gift for the heavenly Father
