Dad, You are my Hope and my Strength

I accept you as you are

Not what you should be

Realistic Hope

For too much hope

leads to disappointment and despair

The hidden reality is still you

I also accept you as you can be

and the potential in me

as I seek a creative

and potential life

Today at dawn I am grateful for you

For your faithfulness and kindness

confidence, patience

and imperfection

Forget and learn from the past

I strain towards the goal

In the fullness of time

May I too be an example

for my own family

A father’s love

is from above

a prize awaits you at the end

of your days...

A good and faithful servant!

May I always for grateful of you!

Your greatest gift is yourself.
