Letter to my dad

in blurtafrica •  3 years ago 

Dad why so soon?
This question had become my heartbeat.
I scream at the top of my voice like
that of a thunder strike, why?
You grew wings just like a bird
and you flew away, away from me.

My inestimable jewel,
since your demise
everything looks bleak and blue.
I have been in a mood of colors.
The autumn leaves, my life carpet
since you embarked on this journey.

Papa, why did death choose you?
Amazing soul who scattered smiles
and faith with a true glee.
I always do a retrospect of those
awesome moments. My greatest
teacher of all time, my mentor.

You taught me to fight against
all odds. Life without you is tough.
At times at night I compel myself to
count the stars; to wave away
my thoughts for your demise left
a void in my heart, and spirit.

Now I have to live by the faith.
It is my fate you left so early.
I know you will no longer appear
in the memories that lie ahead;
But I keep you closer than anything.
Oh unrival love, forever love.

Your footprints will never fade.
Your legacies I will observe.
All adoration to God for the life
you lived; it is worth keeping.
Each day I go on remembeirng.
I hope someday we see on the greens.
