Papa - Martha Petrusevich

Papa
My dear Papa is very wise and strong,
He has taught me what is right and wrong.
His gentle heart is full of love for me,
I am so glad that his daughter I can be.

His compassionate heart is full of prayer,
Through his eyes, I feel is love and care.
He toils daily with his hands and mind,
He is so compassionate and kind.

Many nights, for me, he spent in prayer,
My problems with him, I can always share.
He hides his worries and all his fears,
I don’t often see his grief and tears.
Yet, even if I cant see his tears and pain,
And never hear him grumble and complain.
Life for him is not always very easy,
There are many things that keep him busy.

Yet, he always has time to talk and share,
I know that he will understand and care.
He loves me, like no other man on earth,
He loved me deeply, even before my birth.

He cares for me all these many years,
Gently calms all my problems and my fears.
I never can repay him, for all he’s done for me!!!
I’m so blessed that his daughter I can be!!!
