He was the strongest man I've ever known
A hardworking man who can do all things
He supported his family alone
As he brings all of them under his wings

His wife takes care of their house and children
While he works almost every day and week
But suddenly he became a burden
A disease in his lungs had made him weak

He tried to keep working with his disease
But he just couldn't make it anymore
We fell into misery and crisis
Until his last breath, he left us with sore

Father! I'm the one who was stupefied
I never talked to you before you died
