This Man

There was this man, this wonderful man, Who suddenly left this world. He was a man, that when he spoke, His words were worth much more that gold. Everyday, he would go to work, So we can have a better life. He was a man, who never gave up, Never hesitated himself to sacrifice. He always laughed, never cried, He never showed disrespect. He was a man, that warmed people souls, With him, you'd never know what to expect. This man, he was my father, A husband, grandfather, brother,uncle and a son. This man, my dad, became a legend, To each, and everyone. Thank you Dad, for everything, For unselfishly giving what you can give. Because of you, I am a better person, Because of you, I learned to live. Adele Natasha Mohammed Copyright ©2009 Adele Natasha Mohammed Adele Natasha Mohammed

I LIKED THAT IT MADE ME FEEL, I WISHED I HAD A FATHER LIKE THAT. ISN T THAT WHAT POETRY IS SUPPOSE TO DO? MAKE YOU WANT SOMETHING, TO GIVE SOMETHING, TO TAKE SOMETHING AWAY FROM WHAT YOU HAVE READ. I LIKED THAT THE STORY HAD A PURPOSE, AND A MEANING TO IT, AND THE EMOTIONS THAT IT EVOKES WILL SPEAK TO MANY.

Great poetry...thrilling and fascinating...In order to become a better person, you must have been one the million apostate who read the bible and psalms and therefore have found Jesus Christ blooming your heart with beatitudes. Wishing you all the best and am looking forward to read more of your beautiful sincere poetry.
