Strength and Love

My new tattoo means more to me Than anyone will ever know It doesn't matter that it's hidden More often than on show My tattoo it is a special one It defines both strength and love That has helped to save my father From being taken up above The support and love from everyone Helped pick us up when things were bad But what surprised us most of all Was the strength that came from dad He fought the odds and beat them Even though it took a while He spent eleven weeks in hospital Sure determination was his style Now dad is home where he belongs My festive wish came true at last I have my daddy home for Christmas And this year we'll have a blast (For my superdad)
