No Ordinary Father

Every child deserves to have a father,
But not all children has one.
There are children,
Who haven't even met their father, since they were born.

That's why I consider my self lucky,
To have you in our life,
To have a father like you,
A father who will do everything to protect his daughter and family.

We may not be rich nor
We may not have all the wealth in this world,
But you gave us things 
In which rich people cannot buy.

You've taught us to have fear in God.
You trained us to read the Bible, 
And to believe in God's words
For those times we feel hopeless.

You let us know the importance of God's words,
For these words strengthens us,
Help us to overcome our weakness
And help us to turn away from the devil.

You had given us love and comfort.
You're always there to listen to our problems.
I've known the good life, and I've known the hard way,
But it was you that carried through each rainy day.

Every time I feel weak and hopeless,
I think of you dad.
It's your face that I see
Whenever I am sad.

I know you never wanted 
To see the tears in my eyes,
But its for you
That my heart always cries.

I know you always wanted
To give us all what we want,
All the things that can make us happy
But, dad, its not all the material things that can make people happy.

All I want is you, mom and my siblings.
Having a complete family is like
Having all the expensive things
Here on earth.

So I think, these are enough, for us, for you to raise us.
We don't need money and all the wealth in this world
If we can't be together. 
Material things are nothing without having a complete family.

I will never barter you, just to have all these things.
We are very contented to have you in our family,
And we are very thankful to have a father like you.
Because nothing can incommensurate the love that you had given us.

You are not just a father to me.
You are also my best friend,
A best friend who will never leave me,
A best friend who'll always be there no matter what happens.

Through my darkest days,
You never failed to bring me the light,
And a place where I can shed comfort,
And that place is in your heart.

I love you dad,
We love you very much.
All I can wish is to live with you 
For a thousand more years.
