I was not sure what to get you
On this very special day
So I decided to write this poem from my heart
I have some things I need to say:
I would first like to thank you
For never giving up on me.
You pushed me when I needed it
And through your eyes I've learned to see
We cannot give up when times are tough
We've got to learn to lose before we can win
And if I shall ever fall
I know I will always get back up again
Thanks to you, I hold my head high
And carry myself with pride
Thanks to you, I am somebody
Who will never run and hide
Through you I've learned to face my fears
And take each day as it comes
You cannot take anything with you when you're gone
What's done is done
You lead by example
And because of you, I've learned a lot
Thanks for all the dedication that you have demonstrated
And the many many times that you have fought
You have fought for our existence
You have fought for everyone in your life
Never have I seen you give up
And thus in me you've instilled the fight
Never will I back down
For what I think is right
You've given me the will and determination
You've given me the might
To learn how to stand up
And learn to take a fall
But most of all, dad
I've learned you will never stop loving me at all
A Poem From My Heart
Through you I have learned to show dedication. Even though it has been hard times but in future I know that you will always be with me as well as I will be with you Amen
Happy Father's Day
