You gave me unconditional love
From the day I was born to the day you died
You held my hand lovingly, while I leaned to walk
Listened to my childhood babble as I learned to talk
My hopes, ambitions and dreams all found a confidant in you
You empowered me, gave me the confidence to be me
Your faith and trust in me gave me the strength to face life
It was your unconditional love that made me what I am today
How deeply indebted to you I am, Father!
