The Pillar

Pillar of strength,
Support for any width and length
Solid backing, inspiration and clarity
For my rise with all sanity!

Pillar of direction
Guiding the way for any mission
With no confusion
To chase most dreams and vision!

Pillar of decoration
Through life’s struggles to admiration;
Holding on, and on and on
In my heart though the support is gone!

With the roots high-up and branches below!
A father above and a son lying low
With all my love to you, I shall forever bow!
