Father,
A six-lettered word bearing the weight of his kids, even Seven (7),
Always carrying upon his lofty shoulders till I turned eleven,
My father,
My first glimpse of heaven.
ABBA,
You're the warrior who viciously faced Boisterous storms just to keep us safe,
You bore the burdens without complaint.
You wore strength like a grament when we all lost faith/
Dad,
Your calm and resillience gave us hope as I grew navigating this tumultuous sea called life
You are and still is my hero, my confidant, the one who believed in me,
Even when doubt clouded my vision, you saw my potential so clear as crystal.
Padre,
The values you instilled, the strength you imparted,
You taught me the importance of kindness, of standing tall,
Of facing life's challenges with a smile and an unyielding will./
Dad,
Though the years have passed, and time has etched its mark,
Your discipline, charisma and calm are treasures lit up in my heart like a spark
I honor you today, not just for what you’ve done,
My father, upon his shoulders i learnt to fly Farther than i thought.
With love,
Happy Father's Day
June 16th, 2024./
Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did enjoy writing it and exuding a gracious as each letter formed into words.
