I don’t know what you’re made of,

Or who you truly are,

But your strength makes everything special,

Shining bright like a star.

You always think of me more than yourself,

Always putting me first,

I don’t know if I can ever repay,

Your love that quenches my thirst.

You’re always there when I need you,

With the best solution at hand,

I feel special whenever you’re around,

Guided by your loving command.

You are the world hero,

The example of the best,

What would I do without you?

In your love, I find rest.

You work so hard for my happiness,

And I promise to work hard too,

Though I’ve made mistakes, you forgive me,

And teach me something new.

So in the end, I’m sorry,

For the troubles I’ve put you through,

But know that I love you so much, Dad,

I’ll never let you down, it’s true.
