Dad
You are my hero
You are dauntless
Like a lion
Your smile speaks of your hearty life style
Your children are your pride
You are humble, hearty and honest
You told me not to be a callow 
You gave me flawless advice
You told me to marry education and give birth to success

Your hope was your strength
Your heart is benevolent
You look out for others
You lived with tranquility
You abhor impudency

You embarked on a journey
A journey of no return
Turmoil filled my heart
My heart wept
That a thousand ears could hear
It was like a dream

You left on Earth 
Your words, morals and integrity
You are my hero
You will always live in my heart
Now and forever
