Your legacy was not to leave behind diamonds and pearls,
Which I thought would be more important to your precious girl.
I now realise that the legacy you left was more profound,
The way to navigate Life when you were not around.
When I think of you, it will be with no regret,
Because you taught me precious lessons, never to forget.
Thank you for the lessons, I study every day,
You taught me by example in unusual ways.
Like never expect praise for doing the right thing,
And accept with humility the surprises that Life brings.
Always attend to duties now, there is no time to wait,
Because tomorrow is always a little too late.
You taught us to appreciate people by the size of their hearts,
And always try to finish what I wanted to start.
Always be generous, it never hurts to be nice,
To help those in need, to never think twice.
Thank you for mentoring and preparing me for life’s tests,
To have you as a lighthouse and a father, I am truly blessed
