THAT MAN
To him from whose sperm I came to life,
You've been carrying me around and
guarding me long before you met her.
To him who had sleepless nights,
with mum's uncountable pregnancy drama.
To him who was welled up in anxiety,
at the time her water broke.
To him who stayed awake with mother,
when I wouldn't sleep at night.
To him who would run helter-skelter,
to make sure I'm fine and happy.
To him whose laps are my go-to-place,
when the world's stress tug at me.
To him who wanted nothing,
but the very best for me.
To him who is the absolute love of my life,
who showed me what pure and true love was.
To him who created the best atmosphere for my childhood,
Something I live by as I go into adulthood.
I may outgrow his lap but never
will I outgrow his heart.
For he feeds me with what I need,
to go into the world and be on top.
I will always be his kiddo no matter the age,
I will always love him and be by his side.
He is my dad, my world and my galaxy.
