At Your 4th Birthday
To my son Antonio,
As I am writing this, my deepest hopes are, it will reach you.
As my heart is overwhelmed, with both happy and sad memories.
Snoozing around my mind, my dreams and my feelings. This fourth birthday, I miss you son!
This is special poem, for your fourth's birthday,
I have not written before, not because I didn’t like,
But because I waited for time like this, that I cant hold anymore,
I wish I could be there, and make your birthday special.
But I failed to make it Boy, for the Gods people say
Everything and everything happen for reasons.
For four years we are apart, I am curious to know you.
How you are now, knowing your hobbies and how you grow up.
Are you cool person like your daddy? Or stubborn like XX
Are you a footballer or you don’t like it at all?
Do you like Simba sports club like your dads?
Do you like dancing, or you don’t like music at all?
What is your favorite food? Do you play with your friends?
And who is your best friend? Do you like school?
Am asking all this questions to let you know that I miss you.
I could be happy to raise you by my side,
Wish to see all stages of your growth,
Train you in different manners and our tribe customs,
I pray to see you as the best person!
I love you Tony-Please stay safe and be kind to everyone:
My prayers are with you always!
Your daddy Lucas Mkude 27th October 2021
