He doesn’t ask for much, just to believe
and whatever I ask I shall receive.
He walks with me and waits as I become transparent
then corrects me with love just like a parent.
Constantly protecting me and wanting what’s best
teaching me his ways through a series of tests.
His wisdom is beyond what I was taught in school
sharing the way he thinks throughout the day gives me fuel.
He opens doors that none can shut, he closes them with grace
always having his best interests with the challenges I may face.
He showers me with compliments saying ‘daughter you are beautiful’
where confidence is the new foundation and to validate is no longer an issue.
He gave his life for me when there was a time I wouldn’t give an hour
now I consistently seek his face so I can witness his power.
People will try to prove him wrong because they don’t understand
how one could love unconditionally and continue to be
a gentleman.
