I'd take a beating for him and never complain.
I'd take a world of pain for him and never winch.
I'd take a million steps for him and never stop.
For he's the light, the salvation.

I'd stand with him even when all I want is to sink down to my knees.
I'd be his pillar even when all I am is the ruins of yesterday.
I'd be his strength even when all I know is weakness.
For he's the sun, the smile.

I'd be his guiding star even when I don't know where I am headed.
I'd be his happy place even when mine is wrecked beyond repair.
I'd be his now and forever, even when no one else is.
For he is the blood, the soul, the best of all.

He is the giver,
The teacher,
The friend,
The support.

I think I wrote this for my dad on father's day. It's absolutely cringe and I wish my dad had never been subjected to this absolute shit show.
