The greatest father

I had a dream, I had a dream to be a great father
But in truth it takes more than one person to be that father
For without offspring that was never a dream to be true
Blessed indeed am I that I have a son like you

If what you have achieved was mostly to please me
Understand in your life it is always between you and He
Always a parent is anxious for his child that he may fall
Fearing to get up and not battling to win the ball

How you straightened my back since I too must meet expectations
Of a child who since young was great with his recitations
He loved always to kick a ball and loving the playground to be the field
While as a dad I think only that I must from the dangers you shield

I realised and understand that your life and era is a time beyond us
Watching you grow you may not have understood the fuss
It's not about the detail but always about the goal
For I may not live to see it all as from my body departs my soul

But you are smart and wisdom will come with time
Life is more than a poem that has some rhyme
It is to love and be loved and be the greatest son
For without him no father can be great when all is said and done

Ah the pride when a father sees his child facing the world with strength
Overcoming obstacles and with perseverance triumphs at length
The world's greatest father is he who has the greatest son
If I had to do it all over I'll will have you replaced by none.

As the clock ticks by, rush not into another year
Enjoy your youth and approach the future with no fear
Arm yourself with conviction, faith and determination
Stay true for this dad is for you full of admiration

It's all about love

It's all about love

The best part of love is to feel your warm embrace
Even though I so dearly love to look at your face
But being cuddled and holding each other tightly
Such that to separate us will take something mighty

How I love to listen to your heart beat
For it's in the heart that love has a seat
With quiet thoughts words need not be spoken
Since to know love silence needs to be broken

Love is special for the one who dedicates time
The heart beat is clearer than the poet's rhyme
It's your love that is what I have always needed
About you I have never anyone's advice heeded

So let me ask you sincerely to be mine
How devastated I'd be if you were to decline
It's only your amazing love that so energises me
There's no one else I want to be close to but thee

The Right to Success

The sign said turn right and you turned left
A setback and losses from it will make it like theft
It is true that sometimes left is right
Confused you ask whether I'm alright

It is always about knowing your bearings
Planned to the point you avoid red herrings
Life is but a road on which we travel
Avoid danger lest it causes things to unravel

But risks we must take for it's not about fear
Although we tread carefully with what we hold dear
Never you think there's not a message in this
For dismissing life's lessons you end in an abyss

So in a nutshell I must advise you on this matter
Keep your eye on the road avoiding idle chatter
Plan a path to success and consider not to fail
For always think of the wind when you do sail

So going from left to right is about direction
But doing right is to ensure your plan gets traction
Risky it may seem when opening a door or two
Knowledge brings more certainty in what you do

With conviction we are positive we stay strong
Results will reveal itself it won't take long
Patience though for you place constraints on time
We can keep shifting but everything has its paradigm

Soon

Soon

Our life on earth gets shorter with each heartbeat

Then it'll be too late that hearts do meet

When our minds are closed so too a door

A door of opportunity for us love to restore

With  time we do forget what once was something

How we cast aside the good without even blinking

When the caller comes life from our body depart

There'll be no tears for hard was the heart

But there'll be a time we'll meet our Lord

Life has ended soon we'll see what we scored

All our deeds weighing heavily on the good scale

Then one add deed and we that day fail

Yet few ponder even while the information is clear

Isn't it  about bonds and all we hold dear

Be My Wife

I have seen you close I have seen you from afar

A smile that lights up all around as if you are a star

How I longed that you be mine to forever be by my side

Being the star you to me always to goodness guide

Would that I be able to always bring you joy

I will kill the bull and the fly if it you annoy

But somehow  I know if you want more than that

I fear my failings are exposed at a drop of a hat

How ever can I expect that you accept me, a lowly peasant

Never would I want that my beloved must me resent

And so I shy away and dream only of a blissful life

With full knowledge that you are the only to be my wife.

Dear Truth

Dear Truth,
I notice how everyone keenly your friendship does claim
As if you ought not run through every vein
They realise not that you like blood do flow
Stories, their words are new which you already know
Thought out with precision misleading the one who hears
Enough to bring every honest person to absolute tears
Reminded I am always for patience with their lies
Like hot air their words to the sky rise
All that remains is the one friend called truth
Refreshing as always as if it's our eternal youth
Embracing you as you are part of my being
Your importance has made me wealthier than a king
