Dad, you're the best and brightest model in my life!
Your love towards God is so admired!
You're like the first ray of light in the sky,
That shone upon my paths all these years.
Bringing children up takes years of work,
And a lots of toil, but you never gripe!
Day after day, you provide food on my plate;
You keep the home warm and children safe.
You teach me to live happily and grow up right,
By loving God and being kind to others.
You remind me the one thing I should not do:
“Do not turn away from the Words of God
Because He is the Creator of our world
And He is the One we ought to serve!”
Though life is full of ups and downs
Dad, you are the same no matter what!
Everyday you work hard for me;
And making sure I'm happy is a must.
When you're home, our family is filled with love.
You talk to mom about the housework
And give ideas to resolve her worries.
You take care of things that I give up on,
And together, our family is closely knitted.
With love and care for each other, we never split!
Dad, your sacrifice to bring me up
Is the bright model that always shines in me!
Even when we may be miles far apart,
I engrave your devotion deeply in my heart!
(Translated from my Vietnamese poem, “Gương Sáng Cho Con”)
