I Will Always Love You

Dad, I will always love you
Dad, thank you for being the best dad
Dad, thank you for your care and direction
Dad, I miss you already

Am a dad now, I wish I was there with you when you took your last breath
Am a dad now, when I look at my daughter, I see you looking back at me
Am a dad now, I want to raise my daughter the same way you raised me
Am a dad now, every day I wake up for work, I do it with the same passion and will
   Like you did, like you taught
To make sure my family doesn't go hungry.

Dad, baba, vava, 
              I will always love you


*I just wrote this for my cousin who lost his dad on monday*
