Strength

Strength is how I define you daddy

Strength is what you passed on to me

Strength held my legs on a path sturdy

Strength led me through misery and pain

 

Strength was the hand you offered when I fell down

Strength is what made me smile, smeared with tears

Strength is what held me up when society tried to pin me down

Strength is what I used to fight my fears

 

Strength, dear daddy, is what you need today 

Strength, dear daddy, that won't let your faith go astray

Strength, dear daddy your treasure and your gain

Strength, when you fight for life again.
