Dear Dad:

 Through the years, you were always there,

 providing sustenance and positive rapport,

encouraging always to reach for the moon,

living my life as main stage with an encore.

Pageants & piano, you bursting with pride,

school plays, happy days, right by your side.

Though at sometimes you were so irritable,

unbearable to our incredibly internal core,

we always forgave, for the way you behave,

during my childhood and yours as so before.

My only true regret to this most solemn day,

is that I could not be as perfect in every way,

and be able to tell you my own  true feeling,

about you, dear dad, my grief now so reeling.
