    A set of old clothes and a cheap
    Pair of slippers you always wore,
    Choosing always the money to keep
    Us closer to our dreams therefore.

    I don't know if you would agree
    That you are considered infallible.
    To me, you are and will always be.
    Proud of you, dear Mr. Dependable.

    You are not the strongest, I know.
    But you were never once weak. Yes.
    Sharing your wins and losses did grow
    My trust, my dear! You are the best!

    You never combed my hair at all.
    Nor can I remember you dressing me.
    But you were with me when I fell.
    Your words are those that're etched in me.

    Old age has brought you down at times.
    Never was your bonhomie lost once.
    Your eagerness to learn at all times
    Wondered me, I asked myself when

    I ever had the urge to be
    Like that ever; keep a long face.
    You won't allow that. You will be
    Patting, putting me back to place.

    To you my father, I remain
    Indebted and I know what you will
    Say if I say this. You will say then -
    "Just do for your kids. I know you will!"
