Music & Lyrics by Jon Barker.
A son rarely tells his Father How he really feels,
A handshake or a pat on the back Is all that he reveals,
I'd like to right that wrong,
Here in this little song.
Thank you for shaping my life,
Thank you for teaching me all you can,
You are no ordinary man,
You make me everything I am.
Thank you for taking the time,
Thank you for showing me the way,
And thank you for being thereWhen I need you,
Thank you for every single day.
Now I've been blessed with a son of my own,
Got my own bedtime stories to tell,
If I can raise him half as wellAs you raised me,
Guess I'll be doing pretty well.
Thank you for your guiding hand,
Thank you for making my dreams come true,
You're an extraordinary man,
And I hope you're as proud of me
As I am proud of you.
Thank you for giving me life,
Thank you for showing me good from bad
.I guess I'm only really trying to say,
Thank you for being my Dad.
Even though the years drift away, I
never took the time just to say,
'I love you, and I always have,
And thank you for being my Dad.'
'Thank you for being my Dad.'

Like so many here, my father has also passed. To any younger folks here: Your parents won't be here forever. Make sure they know you love them, through your actions and your words as well. And while mothers often get their deserved credit, don't forget about daddy. He has fought more battles for you than he told you about.

It's been 60 years since my Daddy died. I'm retired now from being an airline pilot... I've got eight grandkids. Ive been a bear, wild boar and deer hunter, and a skydiver. Yet the pain is as strong today as it was so long ago. Never think that a big, strong man can't or shouldn't cry.

Kind of Similar story: Dad died in 2004. I’m 22 years old his dream and my dream was to make me a Pilot. 19 years since then. Still remember when he asked son what you want to become when you grow old I said a Pilot. My dream got crushed. You know how people start using you when they know you’re Invulnerable. I just hope someday I can make his dream come true. Aww man sometimes I can’t hold back my own tears. Just wishes to see him in heaven if I can get to heaven.

Very true!! My daddy died yesterday and that is exactly what I keep repeating cause he thaught us so many things except how to continue to live without him. I just cant and don't know how to live without him. He was such an awesome father , such a perfect person. He just didn't deserve to go out the way he did with this damn f***en covid. He was one of the first to get fully vacinated and so strictly cautious about it. Took a seriously from the start and wouldn't go out anywhere that wasn't absolutely necessary with 💯 caution. Now we lost such a great amazing husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and brother. We really lost a truly awesome, great and incredibly beyond surperb human being which no words could or ever be able to describe or express the type of person and rare unique soul we lost. Heaven needed an angel and GOD only takes the best!!! But I still can't push through this unbearable hurt feelings, this pain is way too much then I can handle.🙏💔😭💔😭🙏

It was such a massive shock when it happened and I have been crying multiple times a day . He was the most kind, loving and gentle human being to ever grace the planet . He had all the qualities a parent should have . They broke the mould when they made him and he guides me through put my kids I speak to him every day and find this comforting as I know he’s listening to me. I miss you so much Pops . No one couch ever fill your shoes . You were a fantastic husband and provider to my late mama who died many years before him . This song is dedicated to you . Pops .

I was 7 almost 8 when my dad died so I can’t remember much. I remember he worked really hard to provide for 5 young children. I loved seeing him come home walking across the railroad tracks with his lunch pail. I remember never getting in trouble for annoying my older sisters. We were all daddies girls. Poor but loved. I never had a dad after him so hug your dad today!!!

I lost my Dad on May 30, 2020. I miss him so much. This song helps me so much. Thank you

[@darrensmith4932]

The perfect song for all those who have had a father in our lives. Sums up a child and dad love brilliantly

[@JonBarker777]

Thank you Darren. J

[@MarcelMangnus]

This is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. I work in the funeral business and heard this song for the first time a week ago on a funeral. It touched me. As a classical musician i don't often get to play or hear this repertoire; but this melody, the words, the accompaniment from Jon Barker : just beautiful! "Thank you for writing this song!"

[@JonBarker777]

Thank you Marcel. You are very kind. J

[@moiseslove-ox2ks]

We lost our dad 37 years ago. He was with my family during his figth from cancer. Our dad was not perfect, but mom and dad tried their best to raised 8 children. Surely, it was painful when I was driving him to the hospital for surgery. A few days later, after the proceeding, he'd left us. Sorry, he was not able to here for the last time , I LOVE YOU and THANK YOU FOR BEING MY DAD.

[@graciegold007]

my dad is my best friend and my everything. he is always there for me and was in times when no one else was. when my mom left us when i was 12 he raised me up alone although we lost everything we had; our house, our car, our horses.. everything. he always tried to be as strong ad he could be for me. i wasn't easy when i was a teenager and i was really awful to him at some times. i really regret that now and i wish i was a better kid. i hope i can make everything up to him one day. i love my dad more than words could ever describe and i'm mortally afraid of the day he won't be here anymore.. i'm beyond thankful, that god send this angel to earth to be my father!

[@theonlysurfdog]

my father was the love of my life. he had my back when no one else would. and just like you Julia, treated him poorly during my teen years. I was selfish and inconsiderate. I did and said alot i wish i hadn't. He passed away several years ago. I wasn't ready, but then again who really is. There is not a day that passed I don't miss him, now that he is gone the one thing that I wish for more than anythiny, is just to tell him I love him one more time.... Julia if I can give you one piece of advice, please tell him that you love him every chance you get. because when he is gone that's is all that you will want.

[@graciegold007]

you're absolutely right John Reed we need to tell the people we love, that we do so. In world full of hate and violence, we need to keep our loved ones as close as possible and tell them how much they mean to us.

I lost my "apa" Summer of 2002 to cancer. He is my everything. I will always love him. I was his caregiver to the end. He passed away in my arms and God gave me the blessing of hearing his last words and talk about things. He helped many and was respected by the neighborhood. A very special and blessed man was taken to heaven that night at 9:15 pm. No regrets everything we needed to say was said. Everything we needed to do was done. Heavenly Father I humbly and gratefully request for his blessed eternal rest. In the name of Jesus Christ our Savior AMEN. Te quiero mucho apa. Gracias por ser mi apa ideal. 🍃🌹🍃

He told me from the jump that I would be great at it.. Come November will be my 2 year anniversary. I am so lucky to work with him. To see my father every day.. And be just as good as him in this business.. Thank you for being my Dad.. 😢. I love you so much Dad.
