Father

You’ve watched me grow up
Throughout all these years,
We’ve shared in laughter
But also with tears.

You’ve paved my life’s path
Not leading astray,
Always there to help,
Even when I’m okay.

We may not agree
But yet understand
You lend me your ear,
And give me your hand.

I wouldn’t be me
Who I am today,
If you were not there,
To show me the way.

From my heart, Thank you,
In my heart, you’ll stay,
I love you father,
Happy Father’s Day!

This was quite a tribute. I've been blessed with a daughter who has grown up now. This one is special. Vince
