Battles he over a hundred tormenting thoughts.
Gliding past most, while some keep him in a fix..
Unwittingly he gets consumed untangling select few of those.
Despite the oddities scoring high, his grit to grace past these were higher still.

'OUR CHAMPION IN TRUE SPIRIT' !

The undefeatable zeal shone brightest in his eyes.

Took me to places where my tiny feet wouldn't,
Placed me in the highest order among all mortals.
His astute vision & fiery courage helps me roar!
His shoulders haven't merely carried my physical weight once,  rather continues to carry all my let-downs, anxieties, ordeals and beyond.
His mind hasn't one day taken an off from not just thinking but providing and being there for all at home.
His arms ever untiringly steady in pursuit of shielding us even if God were to unleash his severest wrath.
If you ask me to name this mighty arsenal I possess, I'd spell,
'DAD'.
Such exemplar dedication that a daughter continues to fathom very little of...
