I still remember that day back in my high school. It was in 2000 Jan. I won a prize in Essay writing contest. My tutor, SAYA DOE, normally holds weekly essay writing contest with diverse topics. It wasn’t compulsory to participate in the contest. “The mission of this contest is solely to polish essay writing skill of my students” SAYA DOE said. Even though it wasn’t a MUST, I have never absent to participate. Every SUNDAY, I walk to his tutor class, some 2 miles away from home, with full guts to challenge my essay writing. And he awards “Metta Mon weekly journal” to those who earn more than 80% on his evaluation. The topic I won a prize was “DAD”.
It has been my fervent wish to publish this post here. There are heaps of friends who desire to see my Dad. Here he comes and yes he is the one and the only BIGGEST DRIVING FORCE in my life.
You are my hero, Dad
You’re my secure foundation.
When I think of you, I’m filled with love
And fond appreciation.
You make me feel protected;
I’m sheltered by your care.
You’re always my true friend;
When I need you, you’re always there.
You have a place of honor
Deep within my heart.
You’ve been my superhero, Dad,
Right from the very start.
