Pride
We met in an unexpected situation. Where we don’t have any relation. An innocent child being caught in a sinful world. You were expelled then you return.
Back then I didn’t know why. Why did you return to this world? What could possibly be the reason to return to such place full of filth and lunatics?
Then something occurred. A phenomena that’s truly uncalled.
You became a part of me.
You became someone I cherished.
You became someone I loved.

You became my only hope.
You became my pride and joy.
Any requests that you want, I’ll fulfill it for you. Any support that you need, I’ll be there for you. A place to cry and let go, I’m here for you.
Raising you, Seeing you grow, Hearing what you sow, Watching you be the man I’m proud to know.
From the innocent child I once thought you were. To the brave and wonderful soul I saw you become.
You have always been, and will always be, one of my greatest sources of pride and joy.
Watching you grow, finding your own path, and becoming the man you are today has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.
I may not always say it, but I hope you know how proud I am to call you my son.
And wherever life takes you, remember that you will always be my pride, my joy, and a piece of my heart.
Love, Your father
