Papa

You are my father,
you are my friend.
You're there for me
through thick and thin.

You are my guide,
you are my teacher.
When my faith is gone,
you are my preacher.

You are the man that I look to
for honest criticism.
You are the one who pulls me
through with great optimism.

You encouraged me to strive for more.
Held my hand when I would falter.
And that is why I place you here,
so high upon this alter.
