My father, whose love exudes
From his mouth flows words of encouragement,
Songs full of depth, and lighted hearted laughter.

My father, blessed and wise beyond your years,
Knowing and guiding me through trials and adversities,
Passing along advice and signs of approval.

My father, whose arms bring comfort and delight,
Whose chuckle brings relief in times of distress,
Whose courage and obedience brought goodness through endurance.

My father, living well and teaching well
An example to his peers
A stronghold for his family

My father.
