Dad’s Compass

You taught me how to get back up!

How to dust off the dirt

And keep on walking

How to taste better tears

But keep on talking

You taught me how to survive

How to address the hurt inside

And stay alive

How to move in a room of sharks

And thrive

You showed me how to keep warm

When the wind blow like jack frost

How to follow the narrow path

And get back on track when I get lost

All because you gave me a compass

Love always, Esha <3
