Up I did grow

On the pious lap of you

Little finger of yours,

The first walker of mine

The first step with you

Made me feel ruling the realm

I felt so secured

With the comfort of your clasp

At the time I grieve

You lent me your touch

That made of me

A pleasant kid on terrain

The mischief of mine,

The cause of your frown

So made of me

Never be the same

The triumph of mine

Though a trivial one

Fetched blossom on your face

So as the sun at the day break

My biggest failure

Never made you bewail

Your pat on my back,    

Made a robust man of me

The teacher in you

Taught me way of life

You’re my mentor

To lead me aiming the pinnacle

Steering me to a vibrant path

Makes the best guide of you

It’s up to me now

To be the paramount

I tried in vain

To impersonate you

My dear Father

I envy you, for I’m not you

I admired you through

For the sturdy stance of you

The rousing persona of you

Made a proud lad of me

I couldn’t thank you enough

For your abiding gift

Merely the best of me

To be my gratitude to you
