he is not the one fighting in a war,
he is the one who would hold me in his arms,
when i was a baby, i felt his love his care,
when i sat on his shoulders and saw the rivers and the farms.

he is the fixer of my broken toys,
and the household doctor when i hurt myself, bleed & weep,
there is something special about him, my father,
he always knew i wanted a hug just before i go to sleep.

why is he never tired of my wishes and demands,
why do i never lose a game when "he" plays with me,
all the love that i see when i look into his eyes,
how did i get so lucky, you were the dad chosen for me.

sent to me from above, was your everlasting love,
i wish i could become like you some day and shine,
i may not have said this before, but i love you,
everyone has a hero in their life, you are a special hero in mine...
