Late Dad

Dad
remember the promises I once make
To respect and take care of you when you get old
To make You the proud daddy ever
To recite the poems for you every evening.

what happened to those?
All the promises melted through my hands
I wanted you in my life
I wanted to cherish every moment with you

But Daddy
Am now left with the memories
You cross my mind often
I see your firm old face
Full of love, peace and faith

I sometimes hear your voice 
shouting at me as you used to
Daddy I miss you
I miss us
I miss everything we did together

Am proud of you father
You did whats best for my siblings and myself
By choosing Mom to be our mother
You loved and trusted her to be part of your liife

Thank you Daddy 
May your sould rest in peace
I will take care of what is yours
Love and respect Mommy
Fear God, Above all always laugh like you knew me

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
