Strength in Grace

Through the fires and the rain, I stand tall, I remain

A son, a man, with a heavy heart but a steady grace

Learning in the shadow of the oak, from a father's open face

Strength in every scar, hope in every trace

Walking through the stormy nights, feeling all the weight of life

Wounds that mark my skin, stories of my strife

From youthful days to now, trying to find my way

Respecting all I’ve learned, I face each brand new day

Hold on to the lessons that my father gave

In his footsteps, I learn to be brave

The journey’s long, the road is steep

His voice inside, in my heart keeps

Oh, I’m stronger than I seem, a fire in my soul

Braving every dream, making broken pieces whole

Grace in every step I take, facing what’s to come

A son's love, a man's wake, I carry on

Echoes of his words, like a gentle guiding light

Through the darkness, through the fears, I fight

Grace isn’t just soft words, it’s the battle inside

Respecting the past, humbly moving with pride

So here I stand, a testament of love and pain

A man made of hope, through loss and gain

Thanks to the fathers, the sons, the threads that bind

With strength and grace, I leave my mark behind
