PAPA ( DAD )

Aboy( Dad )where're thou?
Yesterday and now
They say
You are
High up in the sky
To view your
Loved ones
At a glance

My memory of you
All these years
Evokes delightful episodes
Happy memories

Always reminded of your
Love ,friendship
Generousity
Above all your honesty
For me & my siblings to honour

Your constant
Fight to uphold
Truth & social justice
Was extraordinary
Bold and exemplary
For us to uphold

You are
The true embodiment
Of courage,leadership
And
Contentment
You inspired us all
As you were inspired
By your insightful dad

Teaching us
To be honest & work hard
To get our duely reward
Rest assured
We'll pay you in full
In part or whole
We will fulfill
Our obligation
And
Intend to pass on
Your love and inspiration

You never left your country
But your knowledge of the world
Was plenty

You told us amazing stories
Like the freedom of the press
Six decades ago
Still fresh in our memories
Was only six years old
But the memory
Still can't let go

You quoted Abraham Lincoln
Who wrote about his mum
" all that I am..." and hope to be
I owe it to my sainted mother"
Now is my turn to say
All that I am and we are,
We owe it to you
Our greatest dad

For helping us work hard
Believe in ourselves
Advised us to cascade
Your wise words
To others

You taught us
To be truthful
And
Judicious
Thankful

For being our role model
We are really eternally
Grateful
