My Pa At 72 Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

For forty six years now
you have been my epitome
not only as my father
but being a person with qualities
and character of a humble man.

Rain or shine anytime
you are always around for me
not only as my provider
but being near to give your protection
and accord me your love.

Now that you have pass your prime
yet still active than your counterparts
and you remain understanding as ever
and continually concern of me
I thank you for being thoughtful.

As I blindly venture
into this world full of uncertainties
yet I will always be guided by you
someone whom I look up to
as a pillar of humility and courage.

I thank you for your lovre and care
I love you too as much as I love mum
infact I envy tha way you pampered her
as though she is your life
and sole amor.

Your attitude will be my mirror
from which I will project myself
and do my duties and reponsibilities
towards my work, fellowmen and God
as I live a simple life in peace.

You are a serene and shy person
who like to listen than talk much
but has deep wisdom about life
and who reacts to matters accordingly
so take a stand for your lawful rights
and depend what belongs to you
for aI have faith in you.
