Daddy

I fought a losing battle

You believed in me — I was able

The freedom you gave me

was the one that motivated me

To reach my highest potential

That was so intellectual

Now, I promise to give you

a better life — for you too

You made me the strongest

You’re keeping me grounded

I want to be like you, Dad

To be like you for my future family
