It takes someone really special

To be that Man incomparable

 

He eases the burdens of his loved ones

Solves it away when a problem comes

 

He takes pride in making his baby into a woman

Expects his son to be strong and as good a man

 

A Hero, a chauffeur, a friend and a guardian

A listener, a life mentor with financial acumen

 

The majestic superman, her oracle hero

A daughter’s permanent armor and superhero

 

The most ordinary man turned by love is Dad

An adventurer, story teller and at times little bad

 

He is equal to one’s hundred school masters

He teaches you the life’s toughest chapters

 

He teaches so gently inspiring children deeply

His charisma no words can describe accurately

 

One looks up to Dad no matter how old one grows

Loves completely, gives quietly, corrects one’s flaws

 

She feels like a princess not because she found a Prince

She feels royally pampered for her Father is like a King   

 

 

His love is silent and he says not that He loves you

Through his unconditional support he does show you

 

Mother gives you the drive but father gives dreams

The older you get the smarter your father seems

 

The  huge heart of father is nature’s masterpiece

The most potent moral force behind your achieves

 

He is that dear friend that you can always trust

Your welfare is his target, caring being a must

 

A fleeting memory of a Dad’s precious smile

Enough to lighten up darkest days in a while

 

Always sacrificing his needs for children’s’ needs

Even when low on money fulfills greed and feeds

 

A Son’s first Hero and a daughter’s first love

Makes you feel cocooned like a hand in glove

 

His tears and fears unseen and love unexpressed

His care and protection, a pillar of strength best

 

He doesn’t tell you how to live your life

He lives and lets you watch him do it right

 

Dad can play like a kid, advice like a friend

Protect like a bodyguard and hold your hand

 

An anchor to hold you back, a sail to take you through

He is the guiding light of way that shows the way

 

You become what your father teaches you

The Number One Man he is just for you
