IF IT WASN'T YOU...A MESSAGE TO FATHER

I wake up to sunshine
and go to bed at sunset.
I walk and talk with strength,
the same strength you bestowed upon me.
If it wasn't you...
I am guided and protected by your arms,
surrounded by your care
and shielded by your love
I am what i am each and everyday
because of your warmth.
If it wasn't you...
I am fed at the table everyday,
have some shelter over my head
and some skin to cover me when it rains.
If it wasn't you...
I sing praises and bow to you
whenever a smile appears on my face
and cast blames with blasphemy
whenever I'm down, but if it wasn't you,
I would have been nothing at all.
