Papa : My First Superhero

He wakes before the dawn breaks, Silent steps, no one hears, A life built on silent stakes, Fighting battles, facing fears. In the morning's gentle light, He wears his smile, brave and bright, The weight of the world on his shoulders, But to us, he's a guiding light. Through his eyes, the world is wide, With every step, he's by our side, Through the storms and the strife, He gives us life, he gives us life. Long days in the scorching sun, Working hard, never done, His hands are rough, his heart is gold, A story of love, untold. Evenings spent in quiet grace, He hides the weariness on his face, A laugh, a hug, a gentle word, In his silence, love is heard. Through his eyes, the world is wide, With every step, he's by our side, Through the storms and the strife, He gives us life, he gives us life. He taught us strength without a sound, In his arms, a love profound, His dreams he often set aside, For us, his heart opened wide. Years go by, the children grow, He watches with a gentle glow, The lessons learned, the paths we take, All because of the sacrifices he’d make. Now we see through eyes anew, The journey he took, the skies he flew, A father's love, a silent fight, In the darkness, he was the light. Through his eyes, the world is wide, With every step, he's by our side, Through the storms and the strife, He gives us life, he gives us life. So here's to you, the unsung hero, In our hearts, you're never zero, For every smile and every tear, Thank you, Dad, for being here.
