Father
to the one who always makes me smile
the most strong loving and versatile
the one who’ll always have my back
Whose efforts I’ll never be able to payback
holding my hand making me walk
and always standing strong like a rock
you’re my umbrella in the rain
you’re my greatest blessing and will forever remain
You’re my guiding light
My sun who’s always shining bright
To the rainbow of my sky
Thankyou for giving me wings to fly.
This poem is tribute the poet is showcasing to their father and it is very well written. The poem also has a rhyme scheme of “aabb” and the flow is maintained throughout, which is appreciable.

They are thankful for their father to always guide them towards a better decision and be a positive influence on them.
The only drawback of this poem is the grammar in the second line “The most strong, loving and versatile”. The most strong is not a correct wording and strongest is the right term to use it. Overall, it’s a feel-good poem expressing the poet’s gratitude towards their father.
