My beloved father is my hero
The man that built confidence in me
He who made me think I could conquer the world
The first person ever to believe in me
My father is my true hero
He gave me everything he had; his love, his time, his protection, his attention and courage and his wisdom too
He taught me to believe in myself
He treated me like a queen and made me believe I could be one
He taught me to be humble, loving, caring and selfless
To be strong and empathetic at the same time
He made work and chores playful and fun
He had an energy reserve and was always doing something
He looked at my face and could read my mood
He gave me an opportunity to be educated even though he had very little of it
He showed me what it means to love by loving my mum and my siblings and all our friends
He came from nothing but worked hard and made a niche for himself
He remained brave even during his final battle with cancer
He has gone to rest but his legacy lives on
I remember him with a lot of love and fond memories
I look forward to being with him when everything is new again
To tell him how grateful I am for being his daughter
And to enjoy his love and his care and his wisdom
I miss him so much but I know it isn’t really goodbye
My beloved father is my true hero
