Dear Dad,
When you tried to teach me the value of money,
When you tried to teach me the value of money,
I accused you of being stingy…
When you tried to teach me the value of a good education and hard work,
I accused you of being patronizing…
When you tried to teach me to be content with what I had,
I accused you of not being ambitious…
When you tried to teach me that there is always a right way to do things,
I accused you of being domineering…
And when you tried to teach me not to accuse others when something went wrong,
I accused you of never recognizing the things I did right…
Thank you dad, for teaching me the things you did,
The most valuable lessons in life…
