DAD!!

Your tough funny, sly love is what we will all cherish in our heart

Unfortunately, your battle was too severe, so for now we have to be apart.

You were our storm, protector and now you’re our spiritual guidance

Let’s all take this moment of complete absolute silence

To honor a hardworking man who has always took care of his wife and the entire  household

The life lessons you taught, Your son and I will cherish in our hearts like gold

You were a tough man to figure out always a mystery, I wish you could stay

Now as I ponder, I wouldn’t have a dad like you any other way.

You taught us  how to ride bikes and even learned to skate

I fell, you said get back up Esha, it’s more than skating at stake

You taught us life lessons and how a man should be strong and have the upper hand

You taught me how to respect, you taught me how to stand

Dad, don’t worry we will take great care of mom

We will lift her and make sure her mind is mostly calm

I know mom is strong, but this time she doesn’t have to be

Lean on your children mom, we’re here with open arms, open your eyes to see

I know the pain is at times too much for any human to bare

We’re here for you mom, just know how much we truly care

Your strength, power, expectations and even your funny wit will forever be missed Dad

Your children will now take your life lessons and carry the torch you had.
