My father is a good man, with true values
He worked his whole life without counting the hours
Even if sometimes it was to the detriment of his happiness
He never complained, so great was his heart
He was always ready to help his neighbor
Despite the fact that she had limited means
He wears his heart on his sleeve, and never puts off till tomorrow
It's thanks to him that I wrote my own destiny

My father is an example of strength and courage
But like all dads, as the years go by, he ages
But in the face of problems, he never runs away
He raised me to be a wise child
I remember as a kid when he played with me
As a son might play with his kind dad
It filled me with joy every single time,
I wanted to succeed in life to make him proud

My father was someone who really loved life
He didn't lament when he had worries
Even when it was hard to make ends meet
Moreover, as a teenager, I was not the most docile
I made mistakes, I sometimes disappointed him
He always told me "I had warned you"
He forgave me everything and if I had known
I wouldn't have done anything even though he didn't hold it against me

My father always told me to enjoy life
Because death will come looking for you when it feels like it
I wish he had been wrong at least this time
Unfortunately, one cannot fight against illness
I feel useless not being able to help him
This cancer is mutilating him, but he doesn't want to show us anything
My father remains dignified even though he is going to leave
Two children and a wife who have always loved him
I want to know why? Why him? Why my father?
He really doesn't deserve to live this hell
I pray every night, but it doesn't matter
My dear dad is going to succumb to his cancer
And leave this Earth
