At first, I never felt his love
A heart that is soft, he doesn't have
He isn't thoughtful on the cute things I adore
And always finds my favorite hobbies a bore
The next time, I never felt his care
To say a sweet word he doesn't even dare
He doesn't believe in the things I could do
And at times that I ask for a favor he's quick to say "no"
He's not a man whom I like, alright
And I thought it's okay if he's out of sight
Every time he's there, I feel uneasy
I am like zipping my mouth, such anxiety
But realization came, I then discovered
Of his love unconditional, I never pondered
Though he couldn't understand, he respects my adoration
And is always amazed with my ambition
He's always been caring - that I never know
And when I was badly sick, he grievously wept, too
He has always believed in my potentials; there's no discouragement
And is very proud of all my achievements
I never thought he feels that way
For I never did hear him say
But though I haven't, I know very well
That there are lovely things a heart can only tell
So now I want to let him feel
Of the love I have for him that's also real
And to God, I am thankful forever
Because He gave him to me...as my earthly father.<3
