Fathers Day

Favorite papa, I believe Heaven has warmly received you.
And I'm sure you're proud of being a wonderful dad.
That I deeply regret your absence from guiding me.
Halcyon moments I've spent with you are my greatest blessings.
Exhilarating emotions arise when I wit your spirit around me.
Reminiscences of your love and concern are my greatest treasures.
Seeds of your affection are resonating with the beats of my heart.

Deep sorrow plunges me as I consider your demise.
Advice and ethical principles you taught me, I follow in each step. 
You are my ideal, my life coach, and an influential teacher to me.

A worthy tribute to your father, my dearest friend, Lasaad. I understand your grief for his demise for I lost mine when I was ten years old. Superb, touching, and didactic writing! Blessings!
