For My Father
who guided and protected me
providing shelter for me and his family
always making sure that I was healthy
in mind, body and soul.

For My Father
who listened to my thoughts
watched my actions
made sure I stayed out of trouble
succeeded in life.

For My Father
who supported me along the way
counting each step that I made.

For My Father
who praised and loved me for me.
reached out his hands to me.
who praised and loved me for me.
reached out his hands to me.
For My Father
who painted words
listened to music
danced through the waters of life
overcame each obstacle or family crisis
remaining strong in each battle.

For My Father
I create and dedicate this painting to you
I create and dedicate this painting to you
'cause the way that I picture us
is in the painting inscribed.
For My Father
remember that we are rhythms
weaving color and harmony!
Loving you always!
