My Father

I know a man of humility, love and kindness This man is not so famous to the world but he is so famous in my world. To raise four kids ain't an easy job With a wage that wasn't enough Growing up in an environment so down to earth, He made sure the kids followed what he demanded for, He made them all disciplined,well behaved and independent souls. It wasn't an easy task for him and his wife, Though rough from outside,soft from inside Thinking for others first before his 's is the motto of his life. This man whom I know for years and years is none other than my father My hero,my inspiration of strength and also my great weakness This man have stood by me in all my imperfections, giving me strength and encouraging me towards perfections. Taught me to fight the wild storms in life Taught me to love selflessly Taught me to stand tall and strong . No books or no teachers would have taught what my father taught me. He has seen much of life, Some great,some not,helped us be what we want to be No matter where I may be,what I may do or who I may become, I am sure my father's always there for me. He has been a solid rock for me in times of hardships A strong personality who thought I could move the mountain so easily He is the person who toiled day and night to make sure our needs fulfilled. He is a man like no other. With every year that passes,my father you are so special for me than before. I have no words to the describe my wonderful memories But I am a lucky and proud daughter to have father like you. You are the strength of me standing tall You made me live my life with heads held high You sat by me whenever I was Ill You stood by me to wipe my tears whenever I cried. You are the best among the rest You are the first person whom I could talk about my relationship You accepted all my flaws And made me a better person with your love You are my guiding force My light ,my god in disguise Though the years have brought a touch of gray, And some wrinkles upon your face But for me you are still the most handsome man that I grew up seeing as a child. You are just amazing father any daughter would have. Its been so long I haven't said you Today is the day ,a special day of yours for me to say I love you ,my father. You are the gem of my life, My hero,my guide and moderator of my life. Happy fathers day. Bandana basnett
