A father stands for guidance, authority, and sound leadership

My father not only has these characteristics but many more

Through the good times and the bad times he has stuck by my side not switching sides

For my family he has been the core

Night and Day he works away

Without complaints he's content with trying to give us the best

Growing up he did not have much

Working everyday in a ranch in Mexico was rough

I admire all that he has been through even when things got tough

His smile and jokes light up my familys day

We can never get enough nor stay away

My father has a heart of gold and a work ethic that's persistent

He never quits and stays consistent

My father's impact on my life has showed me what it takes to make it in the real world

As I get ready to enter college I do not wish to stay distant

From schoolwork, to soccer, to learning how the real world works my dad always says that outside of home no one cares what you do, so you have to make yourself shine bright

My father has given me love, dedication, encouragement to do anything I set my mind too

In search of sunlight and hope I come to you

Count on to survive

I am lucky to have a father just like mine

He may not be as rare as a dime but at least he is always here for my family and I full-time

I have the pleasure of treasuring every moment with you

I pray to God he only makes me as strong as you

Without my dad I can say I wouldn't be as successful as I have been to this day

Thanks to my inspiration I wouldn't feel this way

He is my inspiration like music to one's ears

My father has left a muse that I'll never forget how it feels
