A Walk With My Father

My father would take me for walk, Just to talk And i knew that in his heart i was there for sure Death might have overheard my conversation with my thoughts How i loved to walk with my father That night death came uninvited It came  when i least expected it As a thief or relative? Even guests were not anticipated But death doesn't knock If it did i should have stayed awake that night Held his hand so tight To feel everything that goes He used to tell me stories just before i sleep That night he didn't have so much to say What kept him so quiet? I slept peaceful that night,i don't remember snoring Little did i know that  his time was up I wonder how death  got in  i never forget to lock the door When i woke up,without saying goodbye He was long gone Death stole dad precious soul I wonder why he never insisted Left me, down to earth all by myself Just when i wanted to show him a letter "Dear Dad When i grow up i will buy you a bakkie So that  you can use it to throw this poverty " Even if i did his eyes were blind to the Earth but absolutely alive to the new paradise When the day dawns i got a call from Heaven my Dad was working there as an Angel But Forever he is buried in my heart Gone but not forgetten
