My hero, my dad
None had what we had
I was a child then
I loved, I saw no sin

As a teen once then
My hero turned friend
Beating him maybe
Without his will to let me

Adulthood, innosence peeled
Father's faults revealed
Disbelief, disappointment, shame
Finding others to blame

Fatherhood, l was blessed
My son's hero, I need not contest
My faults I knew
Dare I give him a clue

No, he needs me to win
So he would do no sin
My faults will reveal
Later I will be not ideal

Dad, did you know
I needed to grow
Thanks for being wise
To keep your sin in disguise

I hope to live up to be
The father you saw in me
