I see you, father.In this society that you struggle to be relevant in,when it has decided nothing you do will ever be enough.Yet you show up regardless.You give it your all in raising your children.Mapping your own way when likely you had no-one to show you the way.I see you.I see you.
I see you,father.Waiting for this day.Shamelessly glorying in accolades and praise you know full well you don’t deserve.You live with your children,but you co-exist in separate dimensions.When you receive the father’s day wishes and messages,you preen and make a show and say it’s nothing.It really is.I see you.
I see you,father.With the non-guilt of your un-acknowledged offspring that some woman is raising because you were not ready and it was not the right time to be a father.Your streetsmarts saved you from committing to shouldering a responsibility you were not ready for.I see you.
For you dearest dad. Thanks for all the support, encouragement and especially love
RIP
You rest whilst I “work”

Or at least, before I’m 30, giving all my time and energy to someone else’s dream. I’ve got bigger things to do than that.
I’m also a new dad. I don’t have a ton of kids to take care of, just one on the way. I’m brand new to being a husband too, and both of these roles take a…
see where the journey went, dearest dad “Life is what happens in between making other plans.”

Thank you for deferring your dreams so that mine could be realised I know you would have wanted to be more than what you are today You sacrificed your sweat and hard-earned money for us Thank you for being uncomfortable so that I could live comfortably
For lifting heavy loads on both hands, over your shoulders( literally and figuratively )it all seemed as if you were carrying weight as light as a feather! When mom and I tried to carry the same load, gravity immediately humbled us. It’s like you were born to play out your role perfectly well!
For concealing your pain and stifling your tears when we hit rock bottom, I understand that like any other human being you have emotions, For biting your lower lip and acting macho in front of us while you were in turmoil Like a duck, seemingly…
