Thanks for being goofy when my resolve begins to shake,
Thanks for making me smile when the ground around me quakes.
Thanks for teaching me the things that I'd never known before,
Things about my future, the government, and more.
Thanks for giving me advice on topics big and small,
And for assuring me you're there when I don't know who to call.
Thanks for pushing me to improve when I do fall short,
And for giving me opportunities, throw the ball into my court.
Thanks for believing I could do it when I didn't think I could,
And for saying because I can doesn't always mean I should.
Thanks for jailing all my worries like bad guys trying to escape,
And for reminding me that not all hero's need a cape.
