Dear Father

DEAR FATHER Proverbs 4:1 Listen, children, to a father’s instruction, and pay attention so that you may gain discernment. He also taught me to get wisdom, understanding and keep it, By so doing I then discovered something from the treasure That whosoever keeps the wisdom, the word is walking in love Not just love but the love of God, sent from above Sometimes I can just pause I wonder Not just to wonder but to think Think about the great things that took place before my time Before my time were your times in place When you were running your race passing the baton The baton from the forefathers passed unto us How diligently and determined you ran So we shouldn’t complete your journey But we run our part of the race To pass it to the baton to the next generation Every time when I am with you I am filled with joy Every time I am with you I am celebrating Because I know I am not with just a father But I am with a champion, a legend Every time we are together I am learning something new For in the beginning you planted in me a seed A mustard seed to be patient with an open ear That eventually grew into a sensitive ear Every time I see you I say in my heart I am proud to be your son And I will be so honored to pass on the wisdom To the next generation Good morning By; Author Neo Masetlane
