A Great Man

You've worked so hard to make ends meet 
You've sacrificed a lot to make sure that we got an education 

You've made many bad decisions in the past but I know it was all in good intentions

You've always been there for us and you never left 
You made sure that we had a warm meal and a blanket on our chest 

You've shown your strength even in times of weakness 
I admire your courage, you're full of ambition 

For all your sacrifices I may not be able to repay you
But to make you proud I intend to do 

I appreciate you for all that you've done 
I pray you are granted long life from the One up above 

You are a great man
Father I love you
