Job Kanyiva Poet I do not know?

Because I Love You

its because i love you daddy
that i had the strength to let you go
its because i love you daddy
that i let you move on
to begin another family
and yet leave me as your bastard son
its because i love you 
that i bore it all
so that at the end of the day 
i will smile when you smile
even though its not at me you smile
not with me you smile
but,your smile is my smile because i love you
i love you 
though you left
its all because i love you
that i'm able to take it all inside
and though you don't tap me on my shoulder though you dont hug
embrace me
i work hard to make you proud 
for i am a part of your seed
and though you are not here 
i will always love you
its because i love you
that i have the strength to bear
that you left
