[#*بلسم جروح*#]

You may have thought I didn't see,

Or that I hadn't heard,

Life lessons that you taught to me,

But I got every word
. Perhaps you thought I missed it all,

And that we'd grow apart,

But Dad, I picked up everything,

It's written on my heart
. Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be

The (woman) I am today;

You built a strong foundation

No one can take away
. I've grown up with your values,

And I'm very glad I did;

So here's to you, dear father,

From your forever grateful kid
