Far Away Dad
Thanks for being my teacher
my far away dad
for telling me you can
when nobody dared to care
They reasoned with their heads
that no-one can expect
from a crazy stock except
more of the same
Their look of shock still hurts
humbled by my success
and all for a teacher's heart
that dared to say you can
Sculpted in my heart
the first day we met
You didn't except success
loved me as I am
Father of love my God
in You I found my joy
success is but an instant
