A special mark throughout my life,
Alluding towards the direction I seek,
The word that never fades,
Even when gone astray,
Years and months, stays by my side,
Frequent tattle, it proves me right,
Days to hours, a hope that stays,
A voice that evokes comfort,
A figure to weep beside,
A hand to guide me to abide,
A wish to me that came true,
The friend with the bigger role,
How fortunate I must be,
Amongst those who may be less fortunate,
To have a father figure by my side,
Happy Father’s Day.
