As I was thinking about writing a tribute to my Dad I thought -- How can I say a few words that do justice to all of the years of love and strength that Dad gave us? I hope that the real tribute to Dad will be the actions of my (our) lives -- that we are a testament to the love and lessons that he instilled in us all!
Please can someone explain what happened?
Yesterday, you were with us,
Today you are not;
It may be 8 years since you began your adventure but my dear father,
It still hurts pretty bad,
The pain’s still fresh
Just like that fateful day
When I was alone
And suddenly a call to tell me you had began (begun) your adventure.
All these while I’ve been trying to understand DEATH and TIME;
So far I’ve come to learn that depending on what God Almighty has destined our earthly time to be,
We could stick around for as little as a second or if lucky for as long as our folks.
It all goes to show that we need to value our here better
Because when the time come to start THAT adventure,
There’s no turning back.
My dear Father
Despite the pain that lingers in the core of my being,
I’ve got to try and let go.
Father I wish you well;
As the tears roll down and as I seek PEACE to stop the PAIN,
I pray for God to grant you peace as well.
Time’s precious, it’s ever changing and waits for no one.
Rest well my father, rest well.
Love u as always; my first love,my teacher, my hero. My perfect gentleman. Adieu.
