An Ode to Father

I have yet to meet a man so full of life,

so full of love,

that he would sacrifice himself to the devil,

if it means he would save others;

a man with such strength,

such bravery,

that he would lose himself,

to find others;

save for one man,

who knew me so fully,

so utterly,

that in raising me,

he would suffer,

would burn,

and in doing so,

give me strength,

to suffer too.

The title speaks for itself, but my father is a great man, and I’m extremely grateful for all he has done for me in my life. I love you Dad!
