My Father...

is a brick wall,
a force,
a fish net.

My father is a lion's roar,
a bull; an elephant,
his a sweet
spoon of honey.

His ideas are hard
to contradict,
we get caught up,
in fights,
disagreements,
but he taught me
how to be persistent.

My father is righteous,
he believes in family unity,
he is a conservative person.
he prefers spending
quality time
with the family,
not friends.

My father is a magician;
I lose my treasures,
but he uses his miracle eyes,
to find them all,
and takes my concerns away.

Because of my father,
I have to suffer
every time I want to hang around,
and he becomes an engineer,
complicating my easy way out.

My father is an owl of wisdom.
I will soon become
Athena.
He nourishes me
with knowledge,
when I bury my head in sand.
