My Father's Child
By Devon Thompson
Am I My Fathers Child?
Let Me Pause And Think For A While
Before I Answer
Let Me Warn Your Hearts With One Of His Smile
Yes I Am, In Every Sense Of The Word
I Am My Fathers Child
He Didn’t Have Riches
He Didn’t Have Fame
But HIs Principles And Moral
Are Both One Of The Same
If You Didn’t Understand
You Would Hear Him Say,
What I’m Saying
But Let Me Tell You This
In My Own Way
He Was A Fighter To The End
Defying The Odds Time And Time Again
Teaching His Kids How To Survive
Holding On To Dreams And Belief
With Principle As Our Guide
Our Friends Would Often Feel His Wrath
Coming To Visit They Sometimes Had To
Cross His Path
Then They Would Know
They Must Wear A Top
As My Father Would Say,
You’re Naked
And Your Visit Would Come To A Stop
Whatever He Did, It Was Done With Pride
Always Thinking About Family
His God By His Side
We Made Him Proud
As He Would Usually Say To His Friends
When We Meet,
This Is My Son, My Daughter
With A Delightful Smile On His Cheek
He Was Firm And Resolute
But I’m Sure He Loved His All
This Is The Man I Emulate
Short In Statue
But In Life He Stood Very Tall
He Worked And Gave Us What He Had
His Destiny Was His Faith
If Given A Chance To Change My Life
They Is Nothing I would Change
I Am Very Proud To Be
My Fathers Child
I’ll Live By His Principles
His Faith Will Be My Guide.
