Story of My Dad

His heavy make up on his face Something that I have to praise His sprinkled gold dress at night Inspires me to find my own path of light. They used to fear him when the sun turns to clown His fierce look scares the whole crowd in town People don’t know who he really is He is a man wearing a classic red lips. A colorful life in center of the stage But he’s a lonely man locked in his cage Behind of his shameless pretty looks He gives me the best and positive outlook... So I’m not ashamed to tell the world I will spend my life with him till he gets old Admire his courage to face all types of pain I’m a proud son watching him shining. Note: Whatever is his sexuality, it doesn't matter to me as long he's there for me

This is if not a good time at least a much better time for you and your dad. Your dad should be proud of his son.

Thank you for being in my contest. Of course there is no better person to cling to and remain constant with than a great dad.
