I asked my father

When I was six I asked my father
Teach me to ride a bike
So I can take a ride further from your side
And he did
When I was ten I asked my father
Build me a tree house
Hidden by the leaves, high up in the trees
And he did
When I was twenty I asked my father
Walk me down the aisle.
Give me away to be his bride today
And he did
All my life I asked my Father
Love me unconditionally
No matter what I say, or if on the path I stray
And He does.
