RICH IN WEALTH, RICHER AT HEART: A PANEGYRIC TO MY DAD
I used to believe my dad was the wealthiest person alive,
In my younger years, he seemed like a king,
But as I matured, I understood his true wealth lay in his heart,
He made sure we never went without anything we desired.
~
He concealed his moments of weakness,
A steadfast support that remained unbroken.
Your humility, benevolence, endurance, and amiable demeanor towards others serve as my guiding principles.
You’ve motivated me in ways beyond comprehension.
~
We faced challenging times,
Life threw its curveballs, mistakes were made,
We encountered turbulence from all directions,
Yet, we always found a way to overcome every obstacle.
~
I’m grateful you weathered it all and stood by your family,
Your resilience fills me with pride,
As you celebrate your golden jubilee,
I hope you realize the distance you’ve traveled.
~
The stories you’ve shared from your early years,
Reveal your tenacity and determination,
Thank you for never giving up,
And I hope you receive all the good things you deserve.
~
Watching you live out your dreams would bring me immense joy,
And I aspire to contribute to making them a reality.
Above all, may God’s divine protection keep evil forces apart,
I hope you take pride in your journey’s course, for it’s been a work of art.
