Lucky are those who up to now have their fathers by their side. But for those who have lost one that includes me, how will it be this Father’s Day. Guess they have to content with making up a tribute and tell the whole world “What makes a Dad”.
What Makes a Dad
Words would not be enough
To described the qualities of my dear dad
He taught me how to be tough
Shedding tears only when I’m glad.
His strength, like a mountain’s stability
His principles, comparable to a tree’s majesty
Calmness that matches a sea’s tranquility
Oh! He owned a Nature’s generosity.
He has the joy of a morning in spring
The faith of a mustard seed
A night in his arms are so comforting
He has an ocean of reserves for all family needs.
Possessing the wisdom of the ages
And the patience of eternity
His, was an eagle’s courage
That was rewarded with prosperity.
Though, he left us so soon
I can only say, “I’m so grateful”
Your life had been my inspiration
Dad, you’re just wonderful.
The Greatest Father Day’s Gift!
You’re the greatest man I’ve known
You’re the most lovable guy I have
I treasure you, don’t you know?
I love you, does it shows?
I’m just amazed about these things
Why can’t I tell you my fears inside
Maybe because I fear you a lot
But still my love for you is more than everything.
I won’t last a day
Without hearing your sweet and tender words
I won’t live at least a minute
Without you… yelling at me!
When you’re quiet… I’m afraid
Because I know I’ve hurt you
You’re my best friend, but why do I hide secrets from you?
Maybe because I fear you.
Whenever my teacher asks what are we afraid of
I just say “I’m afraid of my dad, especially when he’s mad
My classmates will murmur and will just stare at me
I don’t care! All I know is that I’m afraid of losing you!
Sometimes I think I better die
Whenever silence gets powerful and makes a wall between us
I know, I’m your silliest and naughtiest daughter
But I assure you that I have the best love for my father.
Words I’m not good!
Actions I’m not worth!
But this poem truly shows
How much I love my father!!!
These poems are heartfelt. Original ba? Galing mo, papa leng. Advanced Happy Father's Day to you. :D
