Father,
Conversations we have never had
We saw each other and parted
Everyday
Anything I needed, I found Mother
So much that, even when I wanted to tell you
Anything, I told it to her
Important I never felt you were to me
Money is all that I got from you
But the day you left
Left for eternity
I understood
That you have made me
A man that I am today
I learnt to stand upright
Work hard and live life
I learnt to be a man
To love people
Stand by anyone in times of distress
I learnt from you
Guard and love the woman you love
I learnt from you
Sweat it out and earn for the family
Stand up against the unjust
Dream and make it true
Breathe and live life
I learnt everything from you
How wrong I was when I thought you weren’t important to me
I look back at the pieces of my life and
Realize that I learnt to walk when you held my hand
Even when I fell, you stood by me, held me and
Inspired me to walk
Now I walk
I walk to life
I miss you now, If only I could talk to you
To thank you for laying your life for me
To thank you for giving me life and making me ‘Me’
But….you have gone, gone forever into the unknown world
Leaving me and telling me to live on my own
I miss you dad, how could I think you were not important to me
How could I think that you have given me nothing but money
I wish you were here, for me to tell you something I had never told you-
Love you Dad.
