About My Dad

Like a Shepherd to its 
sheep;
Like a Bee-hive to its bee;
Your arms protects me;
From Dangers I don't even 
see;
And I Ponder;
How nice to have my father;

Your Words of wisdom;
like swords of a Kingdom;
Pierce through my heart;
And kills my state of 
confusion;
Still, I Ponder;
How good to have my 
Father;

When my Stubborn me;
Engulfs my Normal me;
You Prune down my wings;
And put me in place;
Yet I Ponder;
How nice to have my Father;

And I will try and try and 
try;
To make you Smile and 
smile and smile; 
And would say it louder;
How nice to have my 
Father!;
