They say any man can be a father
for a fact I know it's true
Fortunate to have a dad
I am because of you
You didn't raise me to be a princess
with dilussions of a perfect world
But to fall seven, get up eight
fight through every hurt
Resilience isn't always loud
I learnt because I've seen
A simple man not hiding his flaws
always accepting me the way I've been
I've seen you lovingly giving your all
harder still now that you're a grandpa
patience is one of your virtues
trials and tribulations do fail before my pa
Never did you bind us
to any shackles of societal norms
nor did we ever learn
to bend our knee to evil gnomes
Thank you daddy for always being there ❤️
