Baba

If mom's been love, dad's been tough
If mom's been angry, dad brought laughter
Holding hands, he led us to school
Riding us on his back, he led us to play
He is the summer sun of my life, he has been the winter's cool
He stays and listens to all my tales
He laughs and jokes when I act silly
He takes pride when I win
He loves seeing me smile
He silently weeps when I am sad
He is the bright star of my life
He is the sun of my mom's life
He's strict on days, he's lenient at heart
He is my doctor, he is my friend
He is my guide
He's my direction

There is a bit of pride in me
There is a bit of pride that i need
Tell me fair when I cross  the line and I shall see from where you stand
I shall erase any bit of ego
But I can't be you, for I am I
What am I if I have to be you?
