Dear Dad

I could never thank you enough for all I have

Iv been good, iv been bad, but Iv been so blessed having you as my Dad

I look back at the life iv had, an no matter what I could always turn to my Dad

As a young boy, I may have been to young to understand
The wrath of a father’s hand, I chose to rebel your every command

Looking back now it was the wrath of my father’s hand that helped me stand

By rebelling I almost ended up buried in the sand

Something’s, some events are better left unsaid, but the dark path I chose to walk
The path of which in detail I choose never to talk

That path had a deadly end, an im so blessed to have found the love of my father before the end.

Lost on my own, you became my truest, most loyal friend

Once more I became a little boy scared and lost in the dark
Dad you gave me a spiritual spark

I know these words you’ll comprehend

Many sons grow up resenting their father, not knowing their fathers, losing their fathers to death

I’m proud to say, my father is a huge part of who I am today

My father will forever be in my heart, in my life everyday in who I may become he will always play a part

With every decision I make, its your voice that often stops me from making that crucial mistake

You have taught me how to overcome struggles, the importance of trust and truth

You have taught me how to distinguish between what’s wrong & what’s right

You’ve taught me how to stand up an fight, never give up till I find the light

You have taught me that when one door closes another opens

You have taught me the true meaning of having faith, an trusting my life in the hands of God

You taught me what is meant to be will be
Thanks to you I finally see, that God has a plan, a path destined for me

Dad thank you for always standing by your Son, Thank you for your years of sacrifice
Thanks for giving me the best most valuable wise advice
Thank you Dad for giving me life

Most of all thank you for been a father like no other

I love you, thank you

One of my most valuable possessions is a trophy I have
A rugby trophy

On this Saturday a 10 year old boy was taking part in a rugby tournament in Drakenstein

Before the final game a boy sat for 2 hours speaking to his father his father advising him on how to play, and how to be fearless

He ran onto the field with no fear in his heart

A few hours later this boy got handed a trophy

Player of the tournament

This been one of my most special memories

Anything can be accomplished when you have no fear in your heart for failure
