DAD
I feel so old
When I stand next to you.
Of how tall I am
And how big I am beside you.
But I feel younger
When I’m spoiled by you.
And how you would always
Call me your baby girl.
Thank you for your love
Without you, I’m incomplete.
Thank you for your support
God blessed me with the best.
Thank you for the scolding
It gives me the strength to try harder.
Thank you for the tears
It helped me get through my fears.
You taught me how to fight
Learn my mistakes and
Forget and forgive my past.
You taught me how to believe
How to sit and stand
Live a Samoan life in the outside world.
You taught me how to smile
And always push me to be myself.
I’ve seen how you work
Day and night, you never stop.
I’ve seen how you’re stress
Sometimes you just gotta give it a break.
I should be proud of you
I AM proud of having you.
That you’re a father to not only three
But to the many of us living together.
I love you dad
And thank you for everything.
For the ride,
For keeping us safe in your hands.
For the advices,
For making sure we don’t repeat them again
For my life
For making everyday a different day.
Happy Father’s Day to you
Put a smile on that handsome face.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads
Don’t give up just yet
Happy Father’s Day to my late granddads
Uncles and Brother, you’re in a better place.
Happy Father’s Day dad
You give me purpose to love life more.
