Just Like Father

01 March 2011 Just Like Father For every single day, you’ve watched me Remember how’d I express my thoughts My feelings you would express as yours Daily routine, together we stumbled to practice In your humming, I fondly put words and we sing In your asking, I become a learner and perceiver In being inquisitive, I should rationalize To prove certain things, you would not understand by now We go on the same haircut as always the crew cut We paired off dresses in every outdoor moment Have the same craving for foods and things to do Like a spider web, hanging out, interweaving close ties “Just like Father,” words come out from your lips I am proud to hear this coming from you “Just like Father,” means you want to be like me You are my son and only true admirer I wish I could give you the best of me You are my little hero Wakes me up, when I fell into an uneasy sleep You are my little angel Guard me through the walk in the darkest pathway You’re my son and only true resemblance
