The Greatest Father Ever

Unlike any other king, my father is the most powerful
He can build a mansion in seconds still he chose to be humble 
He prefers giving to taking for this is his principle 
Sacrificing himself selfishly just so I can live on

I remember the way he looked at me when he saw me sick
I could tell he was worried and  all he wished for was a speedy recovery 
I saw him folding his hands in prayer and blessings was all I felt descending 

Many times I wonder why the care is much 
So I do things intentionally just to see his wrath
But all I get from him are words of change and such
Which makes me feel guilty and emotionally touched

There was a time he left his throne and came to the street in rags
He heard and saw the bad guys who wanted me beaten to death
He fell and took the blows and bleeds from their knives for me
I couldn't help but scream my hatred for my painful lags

If I could do things over I'll live my life again 
and never take it for granted but live with joy and fain
For his hands are soft and kind and his eyes filled with love
He is the God of all gods and THE GREATEST FATHER EVER.
