I don't want to be like everyone else, I want to be me. I won't walk with all of you on the ground because I can fly. -My own quote

Strength runs through my veins
As I learned from my grandfather

A heart attack or two
Did not damage the size of his big heart

In this he has taught me
There is always hope

Although he grows weak
He still has more love than most

In that I learn
That I will not fail

So thank you papa
I shall always know
There must be faith

The author's comments:
This is in honor of my papa. He is very weak from taking care of my nana who had a stroke 3 years ago. But he still works hard to get her everything she needs and still be there for me and family. He truly has a big heart.
