Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

A Father

He is a man like no other...

He skips his meal and gives it to his hungry
daughter or son.

He works in shifts so that his children
can get a proper education.

He smiles when there's nothing to smile
about, to give his family hope.

He does his best to keep his family together,
when there's strife amongst them.

He always remembers his family
when he's far away.

He is a man like no other....
