Daddy
Your life is best now, at it’s peak
Or so I say, or so I speak
Do what you can while you are healthy and able
Because days will come when I must hold you steady and stable
A father can only do so much in his life
Even with the help of his loving children and wife
So, I remind you, enjoy your youth as you can
Go hiking, go biking, eat ice-cream, get a tan!
Later is the time you can worry about your health
When you no longer work, you can worry about your wealth
Oh, I forgot to say, by the way
Happy Birthday Daddy, because it’s your special day
Congratulations, one more year of your life has gone to waste
I advise you start having fun in a haste
In this struggle, you have worked too hard
You deserve the world, or at least a hug and a card
You are worthy of all my admiration and love
Because a father like you can’t have anything below, but only above
Use your years wisley, with me make them last
Keep your mind open to the present, not the future, not the past
