I got to appreciate you more even in death
The mere reality of me being a father too
Gave me the perfect view of the pressure you handled when you were alive
Living in reality opens one's eyes to better understanding of past events
And gives hope because others got through it, you can too
I remember it all, every memory of you and even your passing
Your hands were so strong that you held us and we didn't fall
Your arms were firm and you made us walk tall
It's 18 years already dad...what a father you were
How you shouldered everything and you didn't even crack
Never did you show any sign of weakness or tiredness
How you did it all without breaking should be studied
I know I have that in me because a lion can't birth a chicken
For God's grace that He gave you, we didn't stall
Even today, we are fine and I still love to kick the ball
You have missed so many fun parts in our lives
Just like I have missed you giving us the high fives
I remember it all...still fresh in memory like yesterday
The day of your passing...the word stood still in disbelief
And I still remember my screams till day
The tears stemming down everyone's face
With every drop making and forming it's trace
I was being consoled with everyone's embrace
But it was nothing compared to yours
So daddy, I miss having you around
I am going to tell you more about it when I see you again...many many years to come
Even though I know you are watching...
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
