Happy Father's Day
To the man who stood so tall, Who picked me up with every fall. In life’s loud storm or silent pain, You stood like shelter in the rain. When nights were long, and hopes ran low, You still believed and let it show. You taught me how to fight, to stand, To build my dreams with steady hand. Behind your silence was endless...

My dear Mama, oh so dear, A mother true, always near. From childhood's dawn till present day, You guided us, showed the way. With "Sugar Boy" by your side, Together you led, with love and pride.
