Dad Nswima, you are a blessing to my life,
You have shown me love, you have stood by my side.
When I was down, you gave me strength,
When I had nothing, you opened up your hands.
Your heart is different,
Your love is genuine,
You don't just speak about love,
You demonstrate it every time.
Dad, your good heart has touched my life,
Your kindness has given me hope.
Through every season, through every day,
Your love has shown me the way.

There are people you meet only once,
And there are people God sends for a reason.
You came into my life with a heart full of love,
And I will never take that for granted.
Your words have encouraged me,
Your actions have spoken louder.
You have been a father, a friend and a blessing,
A light that shines through every season.
May heaven remember your good heart,
May your kindness return to you.
What you have planted in people's lives,
May God make it grow and multiply.

If I had a thousand words,
They would still not be enough
To explain what your heart means to me.
If I had a thousand songs,
I would sing them all for you,
Because your kindness deserves to be remembered.
You gave me hope when I needed it,
You stood beside me when I was weak.
And for everything you've done for me,
My heart will always say—
