In all of your discipline
Though I failed to comprehend fully
I heeded your advice; valued your opinion swiftly
My protector; never felt vulnerable by your side
My instructor, I was wise at a tender age thanks to your mind
A sharp tool, like iron, sharpened and stabilized our building
Found your good thing; she nurtured by quilting
The head of our household – shepherded beautiful children
Married a modest wife, created a beautiful union
A man of integrity – full of selfless empathy
The love of a daughter is indescribable
The life of a father reflects her impossible
He instills identity, assembles her confidence
Walk his words; exemplifies esteemed dominance
Set the standard for men, only accepting monogamous.
Fed her wisdom to contrast quantity versus quality
Zero tolerance with ignorance, no contract with moronity
His overflow of love matured into self-love,
Her first provider; embedded the importance of glove
Taught her the game, she discerns quickly
Her peace in the storm, relies on his masculinity.
You never knew maternal love;
Nurtured like a mother,
Excelled your role as a man,
Tenfold, never became what you suffered!
My love is astronomical,
My God is greater
He will repay you eternally,
He owns your imminent treasure.
Because you serve my master,
There’s no separation in our after
We shall praise our Jehova,
In the new world and ever after!
He never raised his voice;
Honored his woman;
When momma was wrong
Submitted to the respect of communion
Thanks to my father, I understood the deeds of healthy,
He taught me aplomb was silent, not unjustly
I became selective; my standards were pricey
A rare few captured me internally,
I never desired validation; my soul stood assuredly.
