Father-Song

 Father

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

A father beyond blood.

 

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

A father beyond philosophy.

 

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

A father beyond guidance.

 

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

A father beyond mentorship.

 

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

A father beyond teaching.

 

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

One with whom I can speak, cry, and pour my heart out.

 

 

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

No one cares more; no one loves more than him.

 

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

Selfless in every way, he gives.

 

He is a friend,

Yet more than a friend

Words fall short to express the love we hold for him.

 

No man is complete without being a father.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to be loved and cared for by their father.

He asks for nothing more than care and love.

An unconditional being—a symbol of tenderness, like a burning candle.

 

As he burns to brighten us,

Let us soothe him with love and care.
