A parental role
Sturdy and strong
Don't mind getting stained clothes
Brush the dirt off your knees
Get back up and try again
A parental role
Planting carrots in the garden
Watching them grow throughout the summer
Watching them, just as you have done for me
Providing them the soil and water they need to survive
Watching them grow up with hope and pride
A parental role
So tender and sweet
I grew up under you
And realized you grew up with me too
Now whenever I plant a garden
I get fond memories of you
I love you my father
All the way through
