My Love for My Father

If Love be a river,

mine for you is deeper than Nile

None on Earth is a relation

so pure, so fertile

You, the sharer of my burdens,

each one of my trials,

my all-time guardian and shield

against the worldly guiles!

To all your quips, rebukes

and the moments you rile,

I have an answer:

A submissive smile

As every father to his kid,

you’re my icon of Style

May the father-daughter connection

never go hostile!
