In the fields where green dreams grow, You taught me all I’ve come to know. From kindness deep to lessons true, My heart and soul, shaped by you.

With patience firm, you took my hand, We learned the ways of animals and land. In 4-H barns, where spirits meet, You showed me life’s rhythm, steady and sweet.

For every hoof, every feathered friend, Your love for animals knows no end. You taught me care, respect, and grace, To see the world as a kinder place.

Through shared smiles and laughter bright, You’ve been my star, my guiding light. My role model, my heart’s true dad, For every moment, I’m so glad.

So here’s to you, my hero, my home, Through all life’s paths, where I roam, I’ll carry the lessons your love imparts, Forever etched in my grateful heart.
