So simple and selfless were you, my Father
For all my success you played the author
Thus you invested all your precious life in me
In return, you looked not for even a penny
From my joys and happiness, you drew pride
In times of struggle, you stood by my side
Of my failures, you taught me how to cope
And lit those candles of promise and hope
Now I realize why you taught me to fish
Instead of blindly fulfilling each of my wish
Those were the ways you ensured my freedom
That made me independent in God's kingdom
Your deeds reflect the sanctity of your soul
Always inspire me in achieving my goal
