"For Dad"
I’ve never known you from my youth,
But Mom says you're a bunny, that’s the truth.
She says I look just like you,
And you have a family too.
You're a cyber expert, so well known,
With your own children, your life's full-grown.
You’re always busy, work all day,
And don't have time to call, they say.
Yet I have Sultan, my plush friend,
And Lapunka, with me to the end.
When I'm hurt, they stand so tall,
They shield me from the pain and all.
I wish you were here, to protect me too,
To stop the bullying, to see me through.
I love you so much, my heart is true,
You're my blood, my family too.
I long for your hug, to feel you near,
To forget the tears, the pain, the fear.
You’re my dad, and in my heart,
I want us to never be apart.
