The Man

For years you have sheltered me
From harm in this society
You nurtured me with your soul, your words
Understood your goals
You are my teacher and guardian
You taught me to see wonders
And to explore
There were hard times and there are still
But i learnt from you that defeat is
not an issue
Get up, stand tall, keep trying
Believe that one day
The world will be in my hands
Possibilities are made
I owe you my life if not my children's
Because i know you will love them the way you love me
Or better yet
More
Forever and always i am in dept to you
Without you, there cannot be a me of today

I love you dad
You are and will always be
The Man to me
