Olufemi Oloye Poet ABC

My Father's Birthday

You've thought us to kno that:
The flash of the lightening is never to blind us
The roar of the ocean is never to swallow us
The heat of the sun is never to melt us
The scream of the thunder is never to deafen us
The darkness of the night is not to swallow us

All are but o prove to us the greatness, supremacy and sovereignty, of our loving creator whose affection and protection knows no bound on us. 
Dad, we are happy to have learned at your foot
Manners, disciplines, religion, belief. Character. Love, affection, compassion, sympathy, empathy, helping others, contentment, strength, hope, endurance and , above all, the existence and the supremacy of God. 

Thank you for all of these
We promise not to disappoint you
And to pass it to the next generation. 
God bless your days, years before, now and after. Amen
Happy birthday dad
