Father, you raised me being a good child
You taught me how to value life
You said money isn't important
Yet you taught me how to earn and value every penny
You said money is the root of all evils
Yet you taught me how to spend wisely and save for myself

You are a man of philosophy
Though until now I barely understand
Our life was a struggle and a pain
Yet you still had your smile throughout life's rainy season
Above these hardships you knew sometimes you feel weak
And yet you never surrender, never been shaken

I love you father, you just don't know how much
Above all of your mistakes and shortcomings
I was bitter to you before and even caused you pain
But it was a lesson we gained and a proof that we're just humans
Life is tough yet it makes us more stronger than ever
And I knew you're still there loving me and my mother forever
