I cannot speak for myself
I cannot tell my father that I appreciate him,
That I know he gets up every single day and sacrifices his time,
He sacrifices his life so that I can have one…
I cannot speak for myself
I cannot tell my father that he is the true definition of a man.
The embodiment of unconditional love
I cannot speak for myself
I can only look at my father with admiration
Can only reach my arms out for comfort
Can only walk alongside him with assurance
I cannot speak for myself
But…
I want my father to know that I love him
On Mondays
On Tuesdays
On Wednesdays
On his saddest days
On his best days
When he feels empty…
In this lifetime, there will never be a day that my heart will beat,
Without the rhythm of my father’s
And I hope that rhythm surpasses all words
Written for You
