Legacy From My Dad
Dad passed away before I became a man
A man whom he had found a wife
A wife to build life with to mature
Mature as she gives me cute kids
Kids I have to toil for day and night
Night when I think deep about life
Life generating thoughts for solutions
Solutions to life's current challenges
Challenges strengthening my heart
Heart residing inside a man of value
Value I had to defend at all costs
Costs that sometimes lead to wounds
Wounds of man, a real man to leave legacy
Legacy on the land of my audacious father
Father I am today because of my father.
