There’s birthday wishes of the kind
When wished are out of sight and mind
Insubstantial in expression
That barely make a slight impression
So for my dad, these wishes lack
The kind of punch they need to pack
‘Cause he is worthy of much more
This stately gent, whom I adore
He must be showered with devotion
Wide as sky and deep as ocean
There is no thing that I can wrap
No objet d’art placed in his lap
He values things that go much deeper
Esteem on scale that rises steeper
Like loyalty, trustworthiness
To hold your kin in reverence
The sort of man won’t seek attention
Would hardly care for barest mention
There truly are so few like him
With goodness he is filled to brim
As man, he stands beyond all measure
As father? He is cherished treasure!
