My dad is the greatest man on Earth.
When I am afraid,
his bear hugs make me feel safe and warm inside.
His love, affection and support is unconditional.
He would do anything for me.
I am empowered by his words,
his wisdom, his strength.
He has taught me to persevere,
whenever I am challenged.
When I doubt myself, or I am hesitant,
he encourages me day and night, until I am brave.
He sows the seeds, from which my courage blossoms.
He is selfless and always puts others first,
teaching me to be inclusive.
He serves, as one of the most important role models in my life.
My dad is the greatest man on Earth
