Life you gave me, Love you gave me
All that I could ask for, you gave me
Even before I ask for it
When I cry, you are hurt more than I
Sitting by your feet, I am truly happy
You taught me to walk, every step with a smile
And if I fall, you are more hurt
But you always put a smile on me
You went hungry so that my hunger could vanish
‘Molu’ – you called me. And every time you do
It sounds like a part of you
I am, a part of you
You always told me to live happy
With no regrets to this smile called life
You held my hand and taught me to pray
Our usual ritual of praying, always brought smiles to us
Any dream I have, you always make it possible
For me to live the dream
You taught me to help anyone in need
You taught me how to believe in friendship even when your best friend
Greedily stabs you in your back
You taught me that the best would happen if you do your best
You taught me hard work
Every struggle of yours to live life inspires every cell in me
You taught me to think before every step
You taught me to love family and never forget respect for all
Father, you’re my blessing
You have been my light, my life and
I am truly blessed to call you ‘Acha’.
