A father's love, a boundless sea,
A steady hand, guiding me.
A heart of gold, a soul so pure,
A bond unbroken, forevermore.

He taught me right from wrong, with gentle care,
Instilled in me, a sense of fair.
He showed me strength when I felt weak,
And helped me rise when I couldn't speak.

He was my hero, my guiding star,
Protecting me, near and far.
He shielded me from life's harsh blows,
And soothed my fears, wherever I go.

He taught me patience, perseverance, and grace,
And how to face life's challenges, with a smile on my face.
He showed me the value of hard work and dedication,
And the importance of living life with passion and elation.

He was always there, through thick and thin,
A constant source of love, within.
He celebrated my victories, big and small,
And comforted me, when I would fall.

He taught me the importance of family and friends,
And how to build relationships, that never end.
He showed me the beauty of nature and the wonders of the world,
And inspired me to dream big, and unfurl.
He was a man of integrity, honesty, and truth,
A role model, a mentor, a youth.

He lived his life with purpose and meaning,
And taught me the importance of giving and receiving.
He was a man of faith, hope, and charity,
A beacon of light, for all to see.
He showed me the power of prayer and the strength of belief,
And taught me to live my life, with peace and relief.

He was a man of great wisdom and knowledge,
A treasure trove, of life's college.
He shared his stories, his experiences, his dreams,
And inspired me to reach for the stars, and make my schemes.

He was a man of great humor and wit,
Who could make me laugh, with a single hit?
He taught me the importance of finding joy in life's simple pleasures,
And how to appreciate the little things, and live life with ease and measures.

He was a man of great compassion and empathy,
Who could feel the pain of others, and see?
He taught me to be kind, to be gentle, to be true,
And to treat others, as I'd like to be treated, too.

He was a man of great courage and bravery,
Who faced life's challenges, with dignity.
He taught me to be fearless, to be bold, to be strong,
And to stand up for what I believe in, right or wrong.

He was a man of great love and devotion,
A father, a husband, a friend, a notion.
He loved his family, with all his heart,
And taught me the importance of family ties, from the very start.

He was a man of great character and integrity,
A role model, a mentor, an entity.
He lived his life with honor and grace,
And left a legacy, that will forever grace.

A father's love, a priceless gift,
A bond that time can never shift.
A legacy of love, that will endure,
Forevermore, pure and sure.
