My Dad

You have given me everything 
and never wanted anything 
You’ve gone so far
and blood sweat and tears has got you to where you are.

You have taught me everything I know 
and lead me to grow
You are the man of the house 
who would never kill a mouse.

I look up to you not because you are taller 
or neither a scholar 
But because you are much wiser 
and the best advisor.

You are an amazing person 
with intent and reason 
You strive for the best 
who is above all the rest.
