Njeri Hunjeri Poet Couplet

For My Dad

I've heard stories of when I was born
The celebrations that went along 

I've seen the love that you taught
You never said it, but you always showed it

The foundation you set in us
The spirit with which you directed us

You never said much
And your presence was always respected

Thank you for believing in me more than anyone else
Am always thankful for your support 

Your inspirations still live on
Protecting me all the way through
