What do you think this poem is about?

DAPA

Yours is a life of Service
To create a chance
To pave a life
To grace a Cause.
Oh Dapa,
you will smile at my fear
Urge me move on
now you will not move a foot
Cause you are parceled
A prize the society never won
I will remember your name Dapa
For yours is a life of service.
