Strong, Loving Father
As a little boy you grew up in a not so loving home
Paving the way to your teenage years
Lacking the loving family ended with you finding family in friends around you
You and your brothers looked out for one another in the City of Dreams

A city of opportunity
A city of war
A city of hopes and despair all tied in one location
In the end it was everyman for themselves
And you were one of the f ew who came out victorious

From the beginning you had to grow up quickly
Starting a new family at a young age speeded up the process
Like the real man you are
You didn’t take the easy way out
You stuck by your family and worked hard to give them the life you thought they
deserved

Looking to the past, present, and future
I realized I am blessed
I am blessed to have such a strong man as my father
And I know for a fact that no boy can ever compare to the type of man you always
were
My strong, loving father
