My Dad-My Hero - Win
( The poem is in a new literary form called Sonnetina Rispetto, originally a Tuscan folk
song of the 14th Century. This is new version of the form called Rispetto)
My dad was a man of honor
His love I ruminate over
A godly love he has given
Power of his hands so secure.
There’s nothing we could not endure
He’s my mentor, my friend, my man
My dad was a man of honor
His love I ruminate over.
So busy left slushy things to mom
Someone that I can count upon
A godly love he has given
My father, my mentor, my man.
My dad was a man of honor
His love I ruminate over
