You are my past and present,

I’m a product of your choice.

Well-off but still a peasant,

Who finally found his voice.

You are a loving father,

With the right priorities.

Evolved from a poor larva,

Into what is now ‘me’.

I love your savings habits,

I love the way you think.

Opportunity — you grab it,

You always float not sink.

I love the way you keep your calm,

Even when things go bad.

I love the way you do no harm,

A gentle giant lad.

You’ve set up your family’s future,

You’ve made a great career.

Held together like a suture,

And to laws you do adhere.

To me you have been a good friend,

To me you are a king.

And if I had my time again,

I wouldn’t change a thing.
