I do think he was so kind to me, for I was born to a man
like you;
A father so patient, generous, loving and kind,
A human with a golden heart and a beautiful mind;
Caring in your heart, yet tough outside,
There was always love hidden behind the father’s pride;
Without condition you stood like a protective wall,
Reserving the pain for yourself alone and only pleasure for us
all;
A will so strong, to rise on your own might,
To bid for the moon and never know fright;
To rise and fall yet rise again,
To build yourself from ashes and ignore the pain;
The more I look at you the more I learn,
How to give light to the world, even when you burn;
The more I think I do realize- the way I think, the way I
talk,
I borrowed from you even the way I walk;
I hope someday I can do justice,
To the sacrifices of a man so great;
And be an example of human effort,
Not a mere slave to my fate!
