 My Dad plays a game of "hide and seek",

Though in Intensive Care since a week,

But I know He is still sleeps by my side,

He still makes me happy by elephant ride

Putting me on his bare back to continue play

Taking his strong arms to go fast or to delay

 And to repeat the black elephant's game

Making me to be happier and fame

• Top from heaven I heard
• a song of love from a bird;
• A sad word from  my Lord,
• I still love you my dear Dad.

He died not too late in my hand,

but lives still in my own soft mind

I wish time wouldn't go forward,

then I would make a good reward

I try to have and repeat old memoirs,

my minds mostly turns to summaries

• Top from heaven I heard
• a song of love from a bird;
• A sad word from  my Lord,
• I still love you my dear Dad.

I wish I had my dear dad by my side

The stories I hear about ocean tide,

To my eyes it brings more and more fear

Before I had to say good-bye, a drop of tear

I wish I had more fun time with my dear

My mom lets me know how much he care

Since I was too young to have love to share

• Top from heaven I heard
• a song of love from a bird;
• A sad word from  my Lord,
• I still love you my dear Dad.
