For My Dear Father

Dad, why did you raised us while you could waste time with some friends?
Why did you take care of us alone for so many years?
And when you and mom were together, she had just pretend
And made go out of your eyes tears
	
But we can’t blame her
She just decided to be herself
And she didn’t care for what we were
Not even for the memories which are still on her shelf

We all know, sometimes you’re not perfect
But the facts help you to get stressed
And we all understand
When we hold your big hands

Soon I will leave
And you I will miss
But when I come back
I will bring you with me

To somewhere we can call home
And through wonderful places we will pass on
I know my dreams will become reality
And you soon with me there will be

But until there
I want to enjoy the time we have
And here ends the poem
To the world’s best dad
