You carry stories like pages worn thin A quiet kind of hero with battles within Books stacked high, late nights, old dreams Still somehow you hold together all our seams You hide your heart behind a joke and a grin Dark humor when the world closes in Batman shirts and your sarcastic replies But I’ve seen the faith behind your eyes We’ve stood in rooms that changed our lives Held our breath and survived Through every fear and every scar You reminded us who we are Christian, you are the strength of our family Steady when the waves come crashing endlessly Father to Darren and Sebastian Showing them what love looks like in action A man of God with a warrior’s soul Holding us together when life lost control Through oceans, storms, and all we’ve seen You’re our safe place in between There were days we didn’t know what came next Body tired, hearts overwhelmed and stretched Life and death stood close enough to hear But somehow your faith stayed here And the ocean remembers our laughter too Salt in the air and skies turning blue All our adventures, every memory made Our beautiful family in the life we’ve laid Not every victory looked the same Sometimes surviving became the gain And every season proved again Love keeps showing up in the end Christian, you are the strength of our family Steady when the waves come crashing endlessly Father to Darren and Sebastian Showing them what love looks like in action A man of God with a warrior’s soul Holding us together when life lost control Through oceans, storms, and all we’ve seen You’re our safe place in between Your boys are watching every day Learning courage in your way Not because you never break But because you stand and stay And when they tell their story someday I know they’ll say your name with pride A man who loved with all he had And kept his family by his side Christian, our hero without a cape Even Batman would step aside today You gave us faith, you gave us home Made sure we never stood alone Through every mountain, every sea Thank God for who you chose to be Our husband, our father, our heart, our guide Forever your family by your side
