"OH DEAR FATHER"
OH DEAR FATHER
Oh dear father, live for yourself,
Once in a while, breathe for yourself.
Responsibilities made you a father to a child,
But don’t you remember — you were a child to another.
The smile in your face is worth more than diamond,
And sleeping in your arms still feels like home.
Oh dear father, live for yourself,
Once in a while, dream for yourself.
I, as your child — and we, as a children,
Has seen you as a lover and seen you as a guardian.
Oh dear father, live for yourself,
Once in a while, rest for yourself.
The echoes of your silent sacrifice, The whispers of your midnight prayers,
Still guide me and still guide us.
Oh dear father, live for yourself,
Once in a while, bless for yourself.
Growing older now, and grown tomorrow,
Yet always your child — in joy and sorrow.
Oh dear father, live for yourself,
Once in a while, smile for yourself.
I pray to Donyi, I whisper to the Polo,
health of my father shine forever,
Oh dear father, live forever —
Once in a while but, I’ll love you forever.
