To My Father

[Lorenzo]

Dad, this is for you:


It’s not so common anymore
to have a dad who’s really there,
who is the provider for his family,
who comes home every night,
whose predictability
creates a sense of stability and security
in his household.
Your routine may not seem valuable to you,
but it’s worth a lot to me.
I’m thankful that I can depend on you
to always be you--
a real father,
responsible, trustworthy,
and a great role model.
I’ve learned a lot of good things
from watching you.
Thank You, Daddy.

Your Dad is so lucky, Dong, to have a first born son who is so responsible and loving and more.  You are also blessed to have your Dad as an icon of what a father should be.

I give thanks to God Almighty for giving me such a wonderful father. Whose hands have corrected, whose words have guided me to the correct path. Who has never been hesitant to correct me when I was wrong. Who has taught me, the meaning of right and wrong.

Most of all, who has ingrained the concept of: Hard Work, Honest Work, Responsibility, and Resiliency in me and my siblings.

In my eyes, my father is the perfect father. He is approachable when needed, but emanates the reverence that a Paternal Figure needs and deserves.

I have so much Love and Respect for my Father.

He is my Primordia. I am His Son. And He, My Father. One Blood.

Dad,

I ever so realize how much I am similar to you.
My footsteps are similar to yours.
Inasmuch as I try to take up my own view in life;
I cannot help the fact that I am independently taking up views similar to yours.

When I say I am not like you, it isn't serious.

It is an honor to be considered like you.
You are an inspiration in my life, Dad.

Don't you know that?


Your Son,
