If I were a father,
Had I really taken the risk you did!
The higher the intensity, the greater the thoughts—
Thy fatherly care hath resolved a million knots.
If I were a father,
Had I sacrificed as much as you did!
Harder were your nights, tougher were your days,
Care never deprived us, as your mighty presence ignites in every way.
If I were a father,
Would I ever seem like you?
Your efforts are beyond the seven seas,
You succeed in bringing smiles to us with ease.
Had I a chance to enact like thee,
Generations would I cross, but never decree.
Father, your proud love in my heart ever resides—
Any risk would I take, to prove myself to thy compassionate eyes.
