Dad Is a Genius

My dad is a genius, 
He is a brilliant diamond! 
My life is tedious, 
He is a get-away island. 

For me he's always there 
With his harsh but loving critique. 
His way of taking care 
Of his loved children is antique. 

Dear daddy, do you know 
Just how much it's that I love you? 
You don't like it to show: 
But inside me it still accrues.
