The tallest man ever

You are the masterplan

of our lives

present always in

encouragement and forgiveness

You gifted us the genes

those that focus

on the quality

of experience and engagement

You have been timeless

and resilient in learning

rejuvenation from grief

and humility in praise

You have never failed

in bringing to us

fearless faith

through what you chose

and how you lived

 

You never cease to surprise

with your lofty soul

and immeasurable love

 

You always inspire me to stretch

beyond myself

into the world

and for others

 

I love you Papa

Thank you
